Fez was the first capital of Morocco and the country's oldest city, built in 809. Again in the 13th century, during the reign of the Merinid dynasty, and in the 14th century, the city became the spiritual and cultural centre of traditional Morocco.

Fès is also the capital of handicrafts, specialising in pottery, copperplate engraving and leatherwork. It's famous for its monuments: Fez El Bali, the medina, El Attarin, the horloge, the ElQuaraouiyine mosque.
