Morocco 🇲🇦 The easiest city to get lost in the world
📍Fez, located in Morocco, is the first Islamic city in North Africa and is known as a thousand-year-old city.
🔹Fes is composed of an old city and a new city. The old city is one of the largest existing typical medieval-style cities in the world.
🔸The old town has a maze of more than 9,000 streets and alleys. Even the GPS will fail. People who get lost easily must pay attention⚠️but it also has fascinating scenery.
🔹Fez Royal Palace
Although the main entrance looks very gorgeous, the palace is still used as the royal family's office and residence from time to time, so the interior is not open to the public.
🔸Burilu Blue Gate
A must-visit place in the old city. The color of the entire door is full of mysterious sapphire blue, because the walls are covered with blue mosaic tiles, creating a mysterious pattern and a very Islamic style.
🔹Karouin Library
This is the oldest yet unknown Islamic library in the world.
🔸Dye factory
Fez's ability to produce high-quality dyed leather undoubtedly relies on workers jumping into large dyeing vats one after another to massage the sheepskin to make it softer. Following thousands of years of ancient methods, no chemicals are added, but natural ammonia is used to soften the leather, making it easier to color.
⚠️ Google navigation is not available, but you can use markers to get an approximate idea of your location and direction.

The shining Royal Palace of Fez 🇲🇦
The Royal Palace of Fez is a palace complex located in Fes, Morocco. It was founded by the Marinid sultan Abu Yusuf Ya’qub in 1276 and served as the new royal residence and center of government for Morocco under Marinid rule.
The palace is located in Fes el-Jdid ("New Fes"), the fortified royal district founded by the Marinid sultans in 1276.
Today it covers 80 hectares, taking up much of the city’s area. The vast grounds are home to multiple private structures, patios, and gardens, but historically also included administrative offices and government tribunals.
The palace is a striking example of Arabic architecture and is decorated with intricate carvings.
The exterior of the Royal Palace in Fes is a sight to behold. The pink and white facade is adorned with intricate tile work and the main gates are highly ornate.
