Vive la aventura en Fez con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Fez is a historically and culturally rich city located in northern Morocco, recognized as one of the oldest imperial cities in the country. Founded in 789 by Idris I, it is famous for its medina Fez el-Bali, the largest pedestrian medieval city in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city combines an exceptional architectural heritage with a vibrant cultural and artisanal life, highlighting its tanners' workshops, traditional souks and monuments such as the Al Quaraouiyine University, the oldest operating university in the world. Fez was the capital of Morocco during several historical periods and remains a fundamental spiritual and cultural center. Its current population exceeds one million inhabitants, distributed between the historic medina and the modern Ville Nouvelle. Geographically, Fez is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, which gives it a Mediterranean climate with continental influences. Its importance lies in being a living symbol of Moroccan history, a meeting point between ancestral traditions and modernity, and an essential destination for those who wish to understand the essence of authentic Morocco.
