Fez
Fez Morocco, a captivating city that seems to be lingering in the Middle Ages, a city oozing a mystical essence, a place where you can plunge into sensory overload as you take in the enthralling sights, sounds and spicy fragrances. Much of Fez still holds on to its French roots and the imperial city is saturated with historic and religious monuments.
Old-fashioned white-washed street fronts share their space with fine restaurants, trendy cafes and bookshops beckon; it is a harmonious mix of old and new making Fez to be a fascinating and dynamic enclave. You may prefer to stay at a luxury villa that has a more Moroccan character, or tranquil guest houses called riads, most of them beautifully restored palaces of yesteryear creating opulent ornate sanctuaries. Rebalance your body and mind at the traditional hammans and spas, true sumptuous places of well-being offering ultimate pampering and relaxation.
Absorb the local culture and awesome landscape, from the peaks of the Atlas Mountains, dyers stirring their colourful yarns, cobalt blue enamel pottery, Berber carpets, to the tanners trampling the skins under open skies, Fez is truly bewitching. Explore the bustling souks exuding a warm exotic charm, look for leather goods, crafts and gorgeous jewellery, or just relax and take in the wonderful ambiance of the Medina, a World Heritage site. Discover the magnificent crumbling palaces, museums and Medersas, or attend a cultural event such as the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music. A secretive spiritual world of strong tradition culture and many facets, Fez is unmatched in its splendour of timeless beauty.
