Fez



Really my dear this is a good place to visit and you will get to see ancient monuments and art works
fez is a city in perfect harmony with serenity Introduction
Fes el Bali the pride of Morocco, listed under world heritage site by UNESCO since 1983, its larger medina is believed to be world’s largest contiguous car free urban area, an unique feature of the region. Morocco has been conscious of the importance of their cultural heritage that’s why the medians are still alive and that too in its true colors. The culture and the heritage have been well taken care of. The place mirrors its age old tradition as most people continue to do their traditional work and the cacophony of large cities is not seen. All together a different experience enchanting, vibrating mosque, markets, food shops and bazaars of metal crafts handicrafts. The traditional leather dying is still done and visitors can see leathers being soaked in the sun. This city perfectly guides you into place where roads are small and cris -crossed yet no jams happens because its CARFREE CITY!! Fes is a sublime imperial city, but nothing can sum up the wonders that await you here. The medina contains so many remarkable buildings that the only way to see them all is to get lost. Perhaps while strolling around town, like so many artists and i wonders that await you here. The medina contains so many remarkable buildings that the only way to see them all is to get lost. Perhaps while strolling around town, like so many artists and intellectuals, you will be inspired by this “muse city” - a far cry from the “museum city” it might have become (the Fès-Jdid quarter and new town are worth a visit too). Everything here is so full of life,

TOURISM

The Fes medina is a great place to explore, and you’ll probably get lost here no matter how good your sense of direction. That’s also part of its charm. A few lines are scarcely enough to evoke all the treasures hidden inside. We urge you to get a copy of the Fes thematic tour guidebook designed by Ader-Fès, an association which, along with other public organisations and private sponsors, is taking part in restoring the city, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980

Attributes
Fes el Bali is built to human scale, roads are narrow an at times suffer from congestion

It is estimated that there are 10,539 retail businesses in the city and most time of the inhabitants are consumed in their family business. Entire city is surrounded by high walls penetrated in a relatively few locations by historic city gates. The streets are informal social places unlike streets which are used just for transportation. It is exciting to roam through such markets and shop in road stores as we habituated to get to escalators and get into shopping complexes. It is prime example of sustainability where LPG is consumed in modest amount and little pollution is spread. It is not green place but definitely extremely clean region. Animals are used to carry the freights and it seems that it would continue in the unseen future . This place cannot be claimed to be a rich city but the people are healthy and prosperous but the low standard of living may make you feel the other way.
How to reach
You can board flight and land in Marrakech Menara Airport which the nearest airport to the site and if you feel like getting some train ride instead of going by roadways then there are train services from Marrakech station and then there are public bus services available which will drop you to the venue.
