Considered to be the oldest quarter reserved for Moroccans of the Jewish faith, the Mellah of Fez dates back to 1438. Now emptied of its original population, it is being extensively renovated and enhanced in line with His Majesty Mohammed VI’s commitment to preserving the Hebraic component of the national identity.
Its ancient medina is the largest in the Arab world, and you’re probably wondering what to visit in Fez. Starting off at Place Seffarine will take you straight to the heart of the Moroccan craft world, for which the city is still famous, and especially the copper and pewter work carried out by master coppersmiths.
