Aben Danan Synagogue in The Mellah of Fes/Fez, Morocco
An intensive day of sightseeing began with a gate built in 1968 and dedicated to the late King Hassan II before walking into the old Jewish Quarter of Fes/Fez. This area, known as the Mellah in Morocco, was located next to the Royal Palace for protection.
The Aben Danan Synagogue was built in the mid-17th century and recently restored. A typical Sephardic-style synagogue that included a mikvah, a ritual bath in Judaism, that still fills with rainwater.
A Fes/Fez, Morocco Panorama
Fes/Fez is surrounded by walls that extend for nearly 10 miles and basically has three important sections. Fes el Bali, the medieval city, Fes el Jedid, the 13th century section with the Mellah, and Ville Nouvelle built by the French during the Protectorate.
There is a scenic overlook by the North Fortress with wonderful vistas of both old and new Fes/Fez. With walls, whiteness and a sea of satellite dishes before our eyes, it took a while to pick out the important details.
FÈS EL DJID - Bab Semmarine et Le mellah ( l'ancien Quartier Juif )
Bab Semmarine, cette haute porte reconstruite en 1924, constitue l’authentique entrée du quartier de Fès El-Jdid (la ville nouvelle de Fès ) en passant cette porte, on pénètre dans une rue commerçante très animée. Le mellah, désigne un lieu où l'on conserve des produits avec le sel, mais dans chaque ville il est utilisé pour désigner le quartier juif.
Les maisons comportent systématiquement un commerce au rez de chaussé et des grands balcons aux étages supérieurs, typiques des constructions juives ouvertes vers l'extérieur .

Fès, detta anche Fes o Fez Documentario One Day HD
Fès[ detta anche Fes o Fez (in arabo: فاس, Fās; in berbero Fas; in francese: Fès
E' una città santa del Marocco, a 350 m s.l.m., nel fondo di una fertile vallata, capoluogo della regione di Fes-Meknès.
La città vecchia è, per i suoi monumenti, i suoi mercati e le sue moschee, uno dei centri più attraenti di tutto il mondo islamico.
Tra le maggiori città del Marocco, Fès è la più antica delle quattro Città imperiali e deve questo prestigio alla sua prevalenza politica secolare e all'importanza della sua antica università sulla cultura e sull'arte del Nordafrica musulmano.

Le Maroc (en arabe : « المغرب », al-Maġrib ; en berbère : « ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ »1,15, l-Meġrib), ou depuis 1957, en forme longue officielle, le Royaume du Maroc, dit préalablement Empire chérifien, est un État unitaire régionalisé — dont le régime politique est une monarchie constitutionnelle — situé en Afrique du Nord. Sa capitale est Rabat et sa plus grande ville Casablanca.
Géographiquement, il est notamment caractérisé par des zones montagneuses ou désertiques et est l'un des seuls pays — avec l'Espagne et la France — à comporter des rives sur la mer Méditerranée d'un côté et l'océan Atlantique de l'autre. Sa population est de près de 34 millions d'habitants (recensement de 2014) et sa superficie de 710 850 km²16 (47,51 hab./km²), ou de 446 550 km² quand on n'y inclut pas le Sahara occidental — ex-« Sahara espagnol », considéré comme un territoire non autonome par l'Organisation des Nations unies2 — dont il administre de facto environ 80 % et qu'il revendique dans sa totalité, tout comme le Front Polisario. Sa culture est berbéro-arabe, avec des influences africaines et européennes, et les Marocains sont essentiellement de confession musulmane.
Avec une présence d'hominidés datant d'environ 700 000 ans et habité dès la préhistoire par des populations berbères, l'état marocain, en tant qu'entité distincte, est fondé en 789 par Idris Ier.
Par ailleurs, il fait partie de l'Organisation des Nations unies, de la Ligue arabe, de l'Union africaine17, de l'Union du Maghreb arabe, de l'Organisation de la coopération islamique, de l'Organisation internationale de la francophonie, du Groupe des 77 et de l'Union pour la Méditerranée.

Fez or Fes ©
Fes or Fez is the fourth largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech with a population of 946,815 (2004 census). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane Region.
Fes is one of the four so-called imperial cities (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes). The Medina of Fes el Bali, the largest of the two medinas of Fes, is believed to be the largest contiguous car-free urban area in the world. Fes el Bali is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The University of Al-Karaouine was founded in 859 A.D. and is the oldest continuous operating university in the world.
Fes - Maroc - Mellah
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.

Fes je drugi po veličini grad u Maroku, nakon Casablance. Glavni je grad pokrajine Fès-Boulemane i jedan od četiri kraljevska grada Maroka uz Rabat, Marakeš i Meknes. Sastoji se od tri dijela, Medina Fesa (stari, ograđeni dio), Fes-Jddid (novi Fes) i Ville Nouvelle (najnoviji dio grada koji su sagradili Francuzi). Stari grad (Medina Fes el Bali) je na listi svjetske baštine UNESCO-a. U Fesu se nalazi najstarije sveučilište na svijetu koje je još uvijek u funkciji, sveučilište Al-Karaouine osnovano 859. godine.
U gradu se nalazi 160 džamija
Fès oder Fez (arabisch فاس, DMG Fās, mazirisch ⴼⴰⵙ Fas) ist mit rund einer Million Einwohnern die drittgrößte Stadt Marokkos. Sie ist die älteste der vier Königsstädte des Landes (außerdem Marrakesch, Meknès und Rabat) und galt nach der Begründung der Qarawiyin-Universität als geistiges Zentrum der Region. Fès ist die Hauptstadt der Region Fès-Meknès, eine der 12 Regionen Marokkos.
Fez (Arabic: فاس, Berber: Fas, ⴼⴰⵙ, French: Fès) is a city in northern inland Morocco and the capital of the Fas-Meknas administrative region. It is the second largest city in Morocco after Casablanca,[4] with a population of 1.4 million (2014). Located to the northeast of Atlas Mountains, Fez is situated at the crossroad of the important cities of all regions; 206 km (128 mi) from Tangier to the northwest, 246 km (153 mi) from Casablanca, 169 km (105 mi) from Rabat to the west, and 387 km (240 mi) from Marrakesh to the southwest which leads to the Trans-Saharan trade route. It is surrounded by the high grounds, and the old city is penetrated by the River of Fez flowing from the west to east.
Fez was founded under the Idrisid rule during the 8th-9th century. It consisted of two autonomous and competing settlements. The migration of 2000 Arab families in the early 9th century gave the nascent city its Arabic character. After the downfall of the Idrisid dynasty, several empires came and went until the 11th century when the Almoravid Sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin united the two settlements and rebuilt the city, which became today's Fes el Bali quarter. Under the Almoravid rule, the city gained the reputation for the religious scholarship and the mercantile activity. Fez was expanded during the Almohad rule and became the largest city in the world during 1170-1180 with the estimated population of 200,000.
Fez reached its zenith in the Marinid-era, regaining the status as the capital. Numerous madrasas, mosques, zawiyas and city gates were constructed which survived up until today. These buildings are considered the hallmarks of Moorish and Moroccan architectural styles. Marinid sultans also founded Fes Jdid quarter, where newer palaces and gardens were established. During this time, the Jewish population of the city grew as well, with the Mellah (Jewish quarter) attracting the Jewish migrants from other North African regions. After the overthrow of the Marinid dynasty, the city largely declined and replaced by Marrakesh for political and cultural influence, but remained as the capital under the Wattasids and modern Morocco until 1912.
Today, the city largely consists of two old medina quarters, Fes el Bali and Fes Jdid, and modern urban area of Ville Nouvelle constructed during the French colonial era. The medina of Fez is listed as a World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones (car-free areas).[5] It has the University of Al Quaraouiyine which was founded in 859 and the oldest continuously functioning university in the world. It also has Chouara Tannery from the 11th century, one of the oldest tanneries in the world. The city has been called the Mecca of the West and the Athens of Africa, a nickname it shares with Cyrene in Libya.

Morocco Fez City tour
Fes or Fez (Arabic: فاس [Fās], French: Fès) is the second largest city of Morocco —after Casablanca, with a population of just over one million. It's the capital of the Fès-Boulemane region.
Fes, the former capital, is one of the country's four imperial cities, the others being Rabat, Marrakech and Meknes. It comprises three distinct parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah) and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes).
Fes el Bali is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its medina, the larger of the two medinas of Fes, is believed to be the world's largest contiguous car-free urban area. The University of Al-Karaouine, founded in AD 859, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the world. It has been called the Mecca of the West and the Athens of Africa
The Incredible Tanneries of Fes/Fez, Morocco
If I had to pick just one highlight in Fes/Fez, it would have to be the incredible tanneries. No visit to Fes/Fez is complete without viewing from one of the many leather workshops that overlook the dye pots.
The 11th century tanneries are the oldest in North Africa and this is where animals skins are treated and dyed before being sold and made into bags, jackets and belts. Each week, a different color dye is used and today's color happened to be red.
Views of the old City of Fes, Morocco!
Here we are overlooking the old city of Fes! This video shows an overview of this dynamic and cultural ancient city. The first university in the world was founded here!

The Mellah: the historical Jewish quarter
Mellah is the Jewish quarter in Morocco. The first official Mellah in Morocco was established in Fez in 1438. The Mellah is like a city within a city. This video takes one back to the history, via postcards, when the Mellah was inhabited by Jews and how it is different today.
