Fez El Djedid (Fez the New), established in the 13th Century, has most of the royal palaces, gardens and museums. The Ville Nouvelle, the modern city built by the French in the 20th Century, has tree-lined avenues packed with cafes, juice shops, bake shops and restaurants.
However the real Morocco is captured in the third part, Fez el Bali (Old Fez). Founded in 800 BC by Moulay Idrriss II, this labyrinth of over 900 narrow, twisting and turning lanes will not fail to enthrall. Wandering through the local souks is like taking a step back into the Middle Ages, as the locals go about their work the same way they would have 1200 years ago. The copper smiths, the tanneries with their powerful aroma, colorful yarns in the dyers souks, children carrying trays of bread balanced neatly on their heads; and cries of “balak balak” – attention!– will send you scrambling to hug the walls , well out of the way of the heavily ladened mules. Enjoy the enchanting architecture of intricate mosaic tiles, carefully carved stucco and elaborately decorated cedar wood ceilings.
