Fes el Bali - Morocco
#morocco #fes #andy1803
Fes el-Bali is the oldest part of Fez, one of the imperial city of Morocco. It is the historical district founded between 789 and 808 a.c. by Idrisid dynasty. It includes the medina and its fortified walls all around. Fez el-Bali is surely the biggest car-free human settlement in the world, a dedalo of narrow roads and alleys in which is easy to loose the sense of orientation. It is also famous for its Al Karaouine University, the oldest in the world. In 1981 UNESCO inserted the site into the human’s heritage list.
A tour of Morocco should include a visit to Fes el-Bali at least once. It is a medieval town, almost preserved and still inhabited. Its typical architecture witnesses the imperial past of the city with several madrasas, mosques and noble buildings. Its merchant soul is still visible almost everywhere with shops, stalls and street markets. Traditional handmade manufacturers work today using the same middle age techniques, as you may observe visiting the leather tanneries or the copper workshops. Walking into Fes el-Bali is a full immersion in Morocco’s traditions and culture, feeling the vibes of this wonderful country.
Someone says that it’s easy to get lost there, as the district is huge and it can be challenging to understand where you are. Maps are useless. Don’t worry about that. Take your time, bring a compass with you and move in like an explorer. You will enjoy it. Start from Bab Bou Jeloud (the Blue door) and walk into the heart of the medina. Surprises wait for you behind each corner, inside any wood roof alley, in unexpected squares or just in front of an open door. Anyway, if you don’t like the risk, you can look for a guide to bring you in this iconic labyrinth.
There are several guesthouses or hotels to overnight inside the medina or just close to main doors. Choose a riad, the typical local accomodation. They are comfortable, often cheaper and charming. And don’t forget street food. There is plenty of cafè, tea rooms, restaurants and open air kitchens ready to satisfy your taste.
This short film has been filmed mainly with a little action cam, the Eken H8R. Some footage have been shot with a mirrorless Olympus OM-D EM5 MKII. Photos are by Francesca Sparatore and her Nikon D3100. Cyberlink PowerDirector 15 for post-production.
The track “Coast” is by great Silent Partner and is available in YouTube library.
Special thanks to the two musicians/dancers of Place Seffarine. I don't know their name but they are great.

FES - MAROC | Fez - Morocco | Fes el Bali | Medina.
FES - MAROC | Fez - Morocco | Fes el Bali | Medina. Visit Fes, Morocco, the so-called Mecca of the West, and its Medina. Fes el Bali is the oldest walled part of Fes, Morocco. It is the biggest car-free urban area in the world and is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the world.
Voyage à Fès au Maroc, ballade dans le quartier de Fès el-Bali au coeur de la Médina. Fès el-Bali est le plus vieux quartier de la Medina de Fès. Il renferme quelques-uns des plus beaux édifices du Maroc dont les deux monuments édifiés au IXe siècle que sont la mosquée des Andalous et la mosquée Quaraouiyine. L'immense médina de Fès a gardé ses structures médiévales.
Fès el-Bali est entièrement sans voitures. Elle comprend environ 10.000 rues, en général très étroites (de 1 mètre de large, voire moins, à quelques mètres tout au plus), et elles sont, pour des raisons pratiques, sans voitures et parfois même sans motos du fait des escaliers assez fréquents. La pratique du vélo y est peu aisée pour les mêmes raisons. Avec 156 000 habitants en 2002, la médina de Fès el-Bali détient une densité de population très élevée d'environ 55.000 habitants/km². Il s’agit sans doute de la plus grande zone contiguë sans voitures dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. En comparaison, même Venise n’abrite que 55.000 habitants.

Walking in Fes El Bali (medina), Fes, Morocco
March 2019
Fes el Bali - Maroc
he Arabic word فأس Faʾs means pickaxe, which legends say Idris I of Morocco used when he created the lines of the city. One noticeable thing was that the pickaxe was made from silver and gold.[5]
During the rule of the Idrisid dynasty, Fez consisted of two cities: Fas Elbali, founded by Idris I[citation needed], and al-ʿĀliyá, founded by his son, Idris II. During Idrisid rule the capital city was known as al-ʿĀliyá, with the name Fas being reserved for the separate site on the other side of the river; no Idrisid coins have been found with the name Fez, only al-ʿĀliyá and al-ʿĀliyá Madinat Idris. It is not known whether the name al-ʿĀliyá ever referred to both urban areas. It wasn't until 1070 that the two agglomerations were united and the name Fas was used for the combined site.[6]
Foundation and the Idrisids
Further information: Fes el Bali
The city was founded on a bank of the Jawhar river by Idris I in 789, founder of the Zaydi Shi'i Idrisid dynasty. His son, Idris II (808),[7] built a settlement on the opposing river bank. These settlements would soon develop into two walled and largely autonomous sites, often in conflict with one another: Madinat Fas and Al-'Aliya. In 808 Al-'Aliya replaced Walili as the capital of the Idrisids.
Arab emigration to Fez, including 800 Andalusi families of Berber descent[8] in 817–818 expelled after a rebellion against the Umayyads of Córdoba, Andalusia, and 2000 Arab families banned from Kairouan (modern Tunisia) after another rebellion in 824, gave the city its Arabic character. The Andalusians settled in what is called the 'Old' Fez, while the Tunisians found their home in the 'New' Fez, also called al-'Aliya. These two waves of immigrants would subsequently give their name to the sites 'Adwat Al-Andalus and 'Adwat al-Qarawiyyin.[9] The majority of the population was of Arab descent, and the minority was of North-African Berber descent, with rural Berbers from the surrounding countryside settling there throughout this early period, mainly in Madinat Fas (the Andalusian quarter) and later in Fes Jdid.[10]
Upon the death of Idris II in 828, the dynasty’s territory was divided among his sons. The eldest, Muhammad, received Fez. The newly fragmented Idrisid power would never again be reunified. During Yahya ibn Muhammad's rule in Fez the Kairouyine mosque, one of the oldest and largest in Africa, was built and its associated University of Al Quaraouiyine was founded (859).[11] Comparatively little is known about Idrisid Fez, owing to the lack of comprehensive historical narratives and that little has survived of the architecture and infrastructure of early Fez (Al-'Aliya). The sources that mention Idrisid Fez, describe a rather rural one, not having the cultural sophistication of the important cities of Al-Andalus and Ifriqiya.
In the 10th century the city was contested by the Caliphate of Córdoba and the Fatimid Caliphate of Tunisia, who ruled the city through a host of Zenata clients. The Fatimids took the city in 927 and expelled the Idrissids, after which their Miknasa were installed there. The Miknasa were driven out of Fez in 980 by the Maghrawa, their fellow Zenata, allies of the Caliphate of Córdoba. It was in this period that the great Andalusian ruler Almanzor commissioned the Maghrawa to rebuild and refurnish the Al-Kairouan mosque, giving it much of its current appearance. According to the Rawd al-Qirtas and other Marinid era sources, the Maghrawi emir Dunas Al-Maghrawi filled up the open spaces between the two medinas and the banks of the river, dividing them with new constructions. Thus, the two cities grew into each other, being now only separated by their walls and the river. His sons fortified the city to a great extent. This could not keep the Almoravid emir Ibn Tashfin from conquering it in 1070, after more than a decade of battling the Zenata warriors in the area and constant besieging of the city.
In 1033, several thousand Jews were killed in the Fez Massacre.
