- Fes el-Bali - Fes el Bali is the medina area and the city’s oldest neighborhood. It’s thought to be the largest intact surviving medina in the world.The main gate into the area is Bab Boujloud. As you approach this grand old gate you get wonderful views of the neighborhood’s famed landmark the minaret of the Medersa Bou Inania which sits just after the Bab Boujloud gate.Within its walls, the rambling derbs medina alleys spiral out into two distinctly different districts, divided by a meandering river.The left bank is home to the most historic monuments and the majority of the shopping souqs while the right bank may be scruffier but is full of local life and photogenic alleyways.The right bank also has some interesting buildings to search out, including the Al-Andalus Mosque built in 1321 and noted for its prominent green and white minaret which actually dates back to the 10th century.Nearby you’ll find a variety of interesting other monuments including an old fondouk and the crumbling Medersa Sahrij

A journey through time at the historic leather tanneries of Fes
Resembling an artist’s palette, the vast vats of dyes that embellish the cityscape around the fragrant tanneries of Fes are truly breathtaking. Equally impressive are the traditional methods the tanners employ to dye and dry leather, which have remained largely unchanged since medieval times. The tanners utilize water, limestone, pigeon droppings, and their own hands and feet to knead and dye the leather to the desired texture, which may eventually adorn the souks of the medina as beautiful purses and slippers.
