FES MOROCCO - INSIDE THE MEDINA - VLOG

FÈS is the religious and cultural center of Morocco. In this vlog, we go inside the medina and tour the city life, view the architecture, and explore the artisan crafts that made Fes famous around the world.

1. Muslim Cemetery
The best view of the Medina of Fes is from the Muslim Cemetery which sits atop a hill.

2. Fes el Bali - The oldest walled part of Fes Morocco founded between 789 and 808 AD. It has Andalusian design as opposed to Berber influence and it is a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Medina is home to over 2,000 mosques and 80,000 people. It is filled with food shops, crafts, and artisans. The medina is a car-free city and the main method of transportation is by donkey.

3. University of Al-Karaouine - The oldest university in the world established in 859 AD. We see the stunning traditional Moroccan architecture including the marble floor, tile walls, fountain, open ceiling and cedar wood work.

4. Moroccan rug - One of the most famous artisan works is the carpets, which are hand woven by women. Some have traditional Berber designs while others are woven with the Fes blue color.

5. Nejjarine Museum - We visit the museum of wood arts and crafts, a beautiful historic building with a rooftop view of Fes.
