Morocco - The most complete medieval city in the Arab world, Fès is a fascinating and captivating blend of the Middle Ages meeting the modern world. The extraordinary medina of Fès El Bali is worth exploring for several days on its own. Wandering through the narrow streets is a delight. Getting lost isn’t a problem — there’s always a boy nearby who, for a small fee, will show you the way out. Other highlights include the Merenid Tombs, the Royal Palace, and the Mellah (Jewish Quarter). Fès served as Morocco’s capital for more than 400 years and is still considered the country’s religious and cultural center. Many travelers prefer Fès over Marrakech, as it’s slightly less polished and the medina feels more authentically Moroccan. People here actually live within the city walls — not to sightsee, but to do their daily shopping. The traditional tanneries are also a must-see in Fès.
