Itinerary
1
Royal Palace of Fez
The Merenids built this "New City" in the 13th century, when they realized that Fes el Bali would be too small to contain their palaces.The grand Royal Palace takes center stage here. Its 80 hectares of grounds are not open to the public, though, you can stop and admire its ornately decorated entranceway.There's a tranquil air to this small section of the city, which sits between bustling Fes el Bali and the European-style Ville Nouvelle, and it makes a welcoming, peaceful lull between these two faster-paced worlds.The mellah (Jewish quarter) is in the southern section of this district.
15 minutes

Fez Mellah
The atmospheric old Mellah (Jewish Quarter) is in Fes el Jedid, just south of the Royal Palace.Throughout this compact district, the lanes are lined with fine (though highly dilapidated) examples of early 20th-century houses, which were once home to the vibrant Jewish community of Fes.Within the district, the small, restored Aben-Danan Synagogue is open for visitors.On the edge of the Mellah is the rambling Jewish cemetery, one of the city's most tranquil spots, and a Jewish Museum housing a collection of objects highlighting Moroccan Jewish life and culture.

The fort, which was designed in the style of Portuguese forts, is located in an elevated area overlooking the old city of Fes. Borj Sud was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981 as part of Medina of Fez.

Bab Boujloud
The imposing entrance door with its mosaic tiles is the most emblematic portal of the old medina, Fes el-Bali , the largest medieval city and car-free urban area in the world. The blue on the side that welcomes new visitors represents the color of the city of Fez, famous for its pottery, painted with elegant cobalt blue patterns. The reverse, facing the medina, is green – the color of Islam.
