Fez, a Historical Gem

Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts a rich history dating back to the 8th century. Founded by Idris I, the first Aghlabid ruler, it quickly became a cultural and economic center of the Islamic world. The city’s renowned university, Al-Qarawiyyin, established in 859, was one of the oldest in the world. Fez’s strategic location and thriving trade routes contributed to its prosperity and influence for centuries.

Fez was indeed the first capital of Morocco. Its strategic location and cultural significance made it a natural choice for the early rulers of the country.
