Fez, Morocco: imperial cities

Fez is the cultural city in Morocco. You will need a minimum of two days to discover it. Drive along the ochre stone ramparts, then go to the Merinid Tombs. From the ruins of the necropolis, the view extends over "the most imperial of imperial cities". Within its walls, the busy crowd in Fez el Bali bustles about in the small lanes and passageways which all lead to the district of Qaraouiyyin. Once in the medina, you can stroll around the dyer's souk before emerging into Seffarine Square, stronghold of the copperware retailers. Then it's the turn of the tanners, and the woodcraft and henna souks until you reach Medersa el Attarin, the Koranic school, masterpiece of merinid art, built in the 14th century.
