Fés El-Bali

The Old Medina

Old Medina is often referred to as the “Mecca of the West”

is the largest living medieval city in the world and it surely feels that way.

Is a place where you’ll definitely get stuck with the navigation system and as I mentioned previously getting lost in this endless labyrinths is practically unavoidable. (numerous color-coded signs, but they are often hard to spot)

Thousands of extraordinary little alleys crawling over each other inviting you in. It might throw you back straight to the Middle Ages.

Medina of Fes el-Bali is incidentally the world’s largest car-free urban zone. Transports of goods is provided by donkeys, carriages, and motorbikes.

Fez Medina is broken down into sections, souqs, markets, each specialising in a particular trade, each with its unique combination of smells.

The fruit and vegetable market takes place in the Western part of Medina.

Unsurprisingly most aromatic and fresh.

Pomegranate fruit is sold across Medina. Pomegranates in Morocco are a beloved fruit because they are mentioned in the Quran as being one of the fruits of paradise.

Infotech…

Pomegranate is high on fiber, low in calories and rich with antioxidant compounds, works like an immunity booster.

In Morocco fresh olives are used as appetizers and served with herbs 24/7.

Infotech…

Fez is one of the country’s olive main regions for olive production. As well as Marrakesh, Casablanca and Meknes. Morocco is the second largest producer of table olives and the sixth of olive oil.

Souk Al-Attarine is the street filled with colourful clean spice stalls, dried fruit, nuts…

Phyllo dough is typically a flour base and involves a lot of stretching and pulling to make paper thin sheets for pastry.

It’s easy to identify the Camel butchers in old Fez Medina.

Surprised? Most Camels in Morocco, which you encounter in any great number, are destined for the dinner table and always have been,  this is the Middle east!

You can find all sorts of local handicraft in Fez. Every street has a chapter of its own.

On S’Bariin (The dyers street) you can see traditional artisans who tenuously preserve the old dyeing craft techniques.
