Medina of Fez in Fes, Morocco
The medina of Fez was founded in the 9th century at around the same time that Islam arrived in Morocco and the imperial rule that would create the country began. It grew in the 12th and 13th centuries to about the size that it is today.
Many of the buildings that loom over the small streets are from this period, renovated to keep up with modern usages but retaining the original character of this period.
Many of the madrasas, the fondouks, the mosques and the palaces – they were built during the great expansion of these early centuries. You can see the detailed design on their walls and with their structures.
There’s a good reason that the Medina of Fez has been named as a World Heritage Site!
Things to do in Fez Medina…
Bab Bou Jeloud (Blue Gate)
One of the first things you might see, depending on how you come in, is the Blue Gate. Officially it’s called Bab Bou Jeloud and it’s a popular meeting spot.
This western entrance originally was quite a simple gate that was built in the 12th century – and you can see that on the left side.
This new gate was built in 1913 by the French when they controlled the city. Its design was inspired by Moorish architecture, which makes it look much older than it actually is.
Al Attarine Madrasa
This madrasa (Islamic school) is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Medina of Fez. It was built in the early 1300s and is next to the spice and perfume market.
The highlight in the central courtyard that opens onto the prayer hall. The colourful mosaic tiles and carved stucco create a detailed work of art on the walls.
Around the courtyard are the student rooms that are very modest by comparison but give you an insight into the life of the school.
Bou Inania Madrasa
The other madrasa in Fez Medina that is worth visiting is Bou Inania Madrasa. Don’t think just because you’ve seen one, you don’t need to see the other. They are each special in their own ways.
Bou Inania Madrasa was built in the middle of the 1300s and has an enormous brass entrance door. Inside, you’ll find the colourful geometric tilework and carved plaster plus lattice screens made from cedar.
Unlike most madrasas, this one has its own mosque and so you’ll also notice the tall minaret rising up from the top.
Chouara Tannery
The tanneries are one of the things that tourists seem to want to see – but if they don’t appeal to you, you’re not really missing out. So don’t worry.
The largest of the tanneries is Chouara Tannery and there you’ll find men working away, putting the animal skins into white liquids to soften them and then dyes to give them colour, before they are dried in the sun and become leather.
There are a lot of touts who will offer to take you the the tannery… for a price. The shops around the area may let you go in to have a look… but will expect either a tip or that you buy something. And you may even be able to pay someone at the main entrance to go in and take some photos.
However you go, expect to be hassled for money and have to pay at least someone something. There really isn’t a free view here.
University of Al Quaraouiyine
According to both UNESCO and Guinness World Records, Al Quaraouiyine is the oldest university in the world, having been founded in 859.
It is not as visually-spectacular as the madrasas I have mentioned but it still has a beautiful design with arched doorways, a tiled floor, and colourful artworks.
The university is attached to a mosque and so entry is only permitted for Muslims. There has recently been an extensive renovation of the buildings and I have been told that, if you are non-Muslim, you may be able to go into the library (the entrance is on the other side to the mosque) so give that ago. Otherwise you can still look through the main door.
Zaouia de Moulay Idriss
It’s also worth mentioning the mausoleum of Zaouia de Moulay Idriss, which is dedicated to the founder of Fez. Idris II died in 828 and nobody knows for sure where his body is. However, it’s believed that he was buried on this spot.
The shrine that’s here today was built in 1720, although there had been other versions on the site for several centuries. The minaret is the tallest in Fez Medina.
Only Muslims are allowed to enter. Inside is a central courtyard with a white marble fountain, with the mausoleum chamber at the southern end. Non-Muslims should be able to get a bit of a view through the main entrance.
Dar Batha
The Dar Batha – or Batha Museum – was a summer palace built in the 19th century that was turned into a museum in 1915.
It has an excellent collection of traditional arts and crafts from Morocco and will be of interest to anyone who’s been taking note of the beautiful designs here in Fez.
Dar Batha is particularly known for its collection woodcarving, although there are also examples of the colourful tile mosaics, embroidery, and carpets.

What The Leather Tanning Process Is Really Like In Morocco
Every travel vlogger who visits the leather tannery in Fes, Morocco only seem to talk about how glamorous and cool it is to see all this animal skin being teared apart and thrown around as if it was a sheet of paper for us humans to use for our own fashion & decorative purposes, yet, everyone seems to totally disregard the fact that all that skin used to be a LIVING BREATHING animal and now we're hanging them up on our walls, sitting on it, and even WEARING IT with pride! No one seems to be honest about the strong smell of DEAD animals and the strong visual impact of seeing all of this skin being used as a prideful piece of aesthetic. The actual natural dying process of the leather is remarkable (especially given how they use natural ingredients to create the color dye), but seeing (and smelling) all that animal skin just so that we could have the glamour of saying this once was an animal... isn't really that cool. It sure was a unique and awakening experience and showed me (in person) how far us humans can go for fashion and design. It simply didn't feel right and I wouldn't feel as though I was being honest with my audience if I didn't truly transmit to you guys how this experience made me feel like. /// For more videos about my travel adventures around the world, watch this playlist:

The Tannery in Fes, Morocco!
Here we are checking out the Tannery in the Medina in the old part of the city of Fes, Morocco. There was a really pungent stench in the air that's why you see us with mint leaves as we breath to help minimize the odor of the Tannery...
Chouara Tannery is one of the three tanneries in the city of Fez, Morocco. Built in the 11th century, it is the largest tannery in the city. It is located in the Fes el Bali, the oldest medina quarter of the city, near the Saffarin Madrasa along the river. Since the inception of the city, the tanning industry has been continually operating in the same fashion as it did in the early centuries. Today, the tanning industry in the city is considered one of the main tourist attractions. The tanneries are packed with the round stone vessels filled with dye or white liquids for softening the hides. The leather goods produced in the tanneries are exported around the world.
The most notable feature of Chouara and the other local tanneries is the numerous stone vessels filled with different colored dyes and white liquids. Hides of cows, sheep, goats, and camels are processed by first soaking in a series of the white liquids – made from various mixtures of cow urine, pigeon feces, quicklime, salt, and water – in order to clean and soften the tough skins. This process takes two to three days and prepares the hides to readily absorb the dyes. They are then soaked in the dyeing solutions, which use natural colorants such as poppy for red, indigo for blue, and henna for orange. After the dyeing, they are dried under the sun. The resulting leather is then sold to other craftsmen, who use it to produce Morocco's famed leather goods, such as bags, coats, shoes, and slippers, prized for their high quality. The entire leather production process comprises manual labor only and involves no modern machinery, and has retained methods unchanged since medieval times.
