Fez Medina, the most famous and oldest ancient city in Morocco, the first Islamic city in the history of North Africa, is a treasure of Islamic civilization and Moroccan culture. Its old city has a history of nearly 1,200 years. It is one of the largest existing typical medieval-style cities in the world. It has been the center of religion, culture and art in Morocco for more than a thousand years. It is also one of the four imperial cities of Morocco and has been listed as Entered into world cultural heritage. The old market of Fez is so large that it is known as the largest in the world. The winding lanes of the city are the easiest to get lost in. There are more than a thousand handicraft shops, inheriting ancient and famous traditional craft techniques. Each one is set up in a very narrow maze-like lane, as if life has not changed for hundreds of years. The daily life of local residents has been integrated with religion, becoming a real-life social and humanistic museum.

The colorful dye vats, the unpleasant smells, and the dazzling array of leather products are the reasons why tourists come to visit. Only with a tour guide can you go to the classic dyeing workshop and see the traditional leather factory. Although the process seems a bit simple, the scene is suitable for taking pictures, especially some of the products are very delicate.

Came here on March 4, 2019. Fez is one of the four imperial cities in Morocco, known as "Blue Fez" because it produces a very beautiful royal blue pigment. Bab Boujloud is the current western gate of the ancient city of Fez. It was actually built after Morocco became a French "protectorate". It is much more magnificent than the original "Old West Gate". Its outer side uses a lot of blue pigments with local characteristics, coupled with exquisite and repeated Moroccan local decorative patterns, which is especially beautiful under the sun. But what's interesting is that the inner side of this gate is green. Many tourists enter the ancient city of Fez from this gate. You can pay attention to this beautiful gate before entering the city.
