Fez – Morocco's Sensual City of Culture

Fez is Morocco's oldest imperial city and a living museum of Islamic culture, scholarship, and bodily aesthetics. Explore Fes el-Bali, the UNESCO-protected medina, where narrow alleys lead you through souks, hammams, and hidden courtyards. Here, you can visit the tanneries, where leather is still dyed using centuries-old techniques in a colorful and intense sensory experience. Visit Al Quaraouiyine, the world's oldest functioning university, which has been a center for knowledge, philosophy, and poetry since 859 AD. Fez's reputation as Morocco's Sensual City of Culture stems from the city's historical openness to love poetry, perfumes, body care, and architecture that celebrates intimacy, beauty, and privacy.
