This is a great area to understand better the traditional old culture of this country. Can be quite intimidating at first but, embrace the madness, relax and enjoy this fascinating place where you can buy anything you want and try all the foods. Remember, sellers usually start with a ridiculous price because they expect to bargain with you. This is a new experience on all the senses, the noise, smells and sights, the narrow passageways, the pollution from the motor scooters. It's wonderful! Remember to have an open mind!

استكشاف المأكولات الشارع في زقاق فاس عتيقة بعيون أمريكية/Food Fez Morocco
Fez (Arabic: فاس Fas, Berber: ⴼⴰⵙ Fas) is the second largest city of Morocco, with a population of 1.1 million (2014).
Fez was the capital city of modern Morocco until 1925 and is now the capital of the Fès-Meknès administrative region. The city has two old medina quarters, the larger of which is Fes el Bali. It is listed as a World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones (car-free areas).[3] University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the world. The city has been called the Mecca of the West and the Athens of Africa.[4]
History Edit
See also: Timeline of Fez
Etymology Edit
The Arabic word فأس Faʾs means pickaxe, which legends say Idris I of Morocco used when he created the lines of the city. One noticeable thing was that the pickaxe was made from silver and gold.[5]
During the rule of the Idrisid dynasty, Fez consisted of two cities: Fas Elbali, founded by Idris I[citation needed], and al-ʿĀliyá, founded by his son, Idris II. During Idrisid rule the capital city was known as al-ʿĀliyá, with the name Fas being reserved for the separate site on the other side of the river; no Idrisid coins have been found with the name Fez, only al-ʿĀliyá and al-ʿĀliyá Madinat Idris. It is not known whether the name al-ʿĀliyá ever referred to both urban areas. It wasn't until 1070 that the two agglomerations were united and the name Fas was used for the combined site.[6]
Foundation and the Idrisids Edit
Further information: Fes el Bali
The city was founded on a bank of the Jawhar river by Idris I in 789, founder of the Zaydi Shi'i Idrisid dynasty. His son, Idris II (808),[7] built a settlement on the opposing river bank. These settlements would soon develop into two walled and largely autonomous sites, often in conflict with one another: Madinat Fas and Al-'Aliya. In 808 Al-'Aliya replaced Walili as the capital of the Idrisids.

فاس (بالإنجليزية: Fez ) هي رابع أكبر مدن المملكة المغربية بعدد سكان يزيد عن 1.9 مليون نسمة وأكثر من المليونين مع حساب المناطق المجاورة (زواغة، بنسودة، عين الله (إحصائيات 2010 م). تأسست مدينة فاس 182 هجري/ 4 يناير 808 (العمر 1209 سنوات)، على يد إدريس الثاني الذي جعلها عاصمة الدولة الإدريسية بالمغرب، حيث احتفلت المدينة سنة 2008 بعيد ميلادها ال1200. وتنقسم فاس إلى 3 أقسام، فاس البالي وهي المدينة القديمة، وفاس الجديد وقد بنيت في القرن الثالث عشر الميلادي، والمدينة الجديدة التي بناها الفرنسيون إبان فترة الاستعمار الفرنسي.
التاريخ عدل
تشكل مدينة فاس جزءا أساسيا من التراث الوطني المغربي و يعود تاريخ مدينة فاس إلى القرن الثاني الهجري، عندما قام إدريس بن عبد الله مؤسس دولة الأدارسة عام 172 هـ الموافق لعام 789 م ببناء مدينة على الضفة اليمنى لنهر فاس. وفد إلى مدينة فاس عشرات العائلات العربية من القرويين ليقيموا أول الأحياء في المدينة والذي عرف باسم عدوة القرويين. كما وفد إليها الأندلسيون الذين أرغموا على الهجرة من الأندلس ليكونوا حي عدوة الأندلسيين. وكان هناك حي خاص لليهود وهو حي الملاح. بعد وفاة إدريس الأول بعشرين سنة أسس ابنه إدريس الثاني المدينة الثانية على الضفة اليسرى من النهر. وقد ظلت المدينة مقسمة هكذا إلى أن دخلها المرابطون فأمر يوسف بن تاشفين بتوحيدهما وجعلهما مدينة واحدة فصارت القاعدة الحربية الرئيسية في شمال المغرب للدول المتتالية التي حكمت المنطقة بالإضافة لكونها مركزا دينيا وعلميا في شمال أفريقيا وأسست فيها جامعة القرويين عام 859م التي كانت مقصد الطلاب من جميع أنحاء العالم الإسلامي وأوروبا.[7] جامعة القرويين هي أقدم جامعة في العالم.[1]
كانت مدينة فاس أحد ركائز الصراع بين الأمويين في الأندلس والفاطميين الذين حكموا (مصر وليبيا وتونس) وظلت المدينة تحت سيطرة الأمويين في الأندلس لمدة تزيد على الثلاثين عاما وتمتعت خلال تلك المدة بالازدهار الكبير. وعندما سقطت الخلافة الأموية بقرطبة وقعت مدينة فاس تحت سيطرة أمراء زناتة الحكام المحليين للمغرب في تلك الفترة، سيطر بعدها المرابطون على المدينة، وتلاهم الموحدون الذين حاصروا المدينة تسعة أشهر ودخلوها في عام 1143 م. قام بنو مرين بالسيطرة على المدينة بعد سقوط دولة الموحدين واتخذوها مركزا لهم بدلا من مراكش، وأنشؤوا مدينة ملكية وإدارية جديدة عرفت بالمدينة البيضاء. في عهد المرينيين عرفت مدينة فاس عصرها الذهبي إذ قام أبو يوسف يعقوب المنصور ببناء فاس الجديدة سنة 1276 م وحصنها بسور وخصها بمسجد كبير وبأحياء سكنية وقصور وحدائق.[8]
وأصبحت مركزا للدولة العلوية في المغرب في 1649 م، وبقيت مركزا تجاريا هاما في شمال أفريقيا. ظلت المدينة المصدر الوحيد للطربوش الفاسي حتى القرن التاسع عشر الميلادي، عندما بدأ يصنع في كل من تركيا وفرنسا.
في التاريخ الحديث أي مند عهد المولى الحسن الأول (1872-1894م) بدأت الوسائل الحديثة بالدخول إلى المدينة فزودت بالطرق الإسفلتية وبخطوط الكهرباء والهاتف و كانت فاس عاصمة للمملكة المغربية حتى عام 1912 م (فترة الاحتلال الفرنسي والتي استمرت حتى 1956 م) وتم فيها تحويل العاصمة إلى مدينة الرباط. هاجر العديد من سكان فاس إلى المدن الأخرى وخاصة يهود المدينة، إذ أفرغ حي الملاح تماما من ساكنيه، وكان لهجرة السكان من المدينة أثرا اقتصاديا سيئا.

Ovo je video o nasem putu u grad FES! Pretplatite se na nas kanal!
Fes je drugi po veličini grad u Maroku, nakon Casablance. Glavni je grad pokrajine Fès-Boulemane i jedan od četiri kraljevska grada Maroka uz Rabat, Marakeš i Meknes. Sastoji se od tri dijela, Medina Fesa (stari, ograđeni dio), Fes-Jddid (novi Fes) i Ville Nouvelle (najnoviji dio grada koji su sagradili Francuzi). Stari grad (Medina Fes el Bali) je na listi svjetske baštine UNESCO-a. U Fesu se nalazi najstarije sveučilište na svijetu koje je još uvijek u funkciji, sveučilište Al-Karaouine osnovano 859. godine.
U gradu se nalazi 160 džamija
Fès oder Fez (arabisch فاس, DMG Fās, mazirisch ⴼⴰⵙ Fas) ist mit rund einer Million Einwohnern die drittgrößte Stadt Marokkos. Sie ist die älteste der vier Königsstädte des Landes (außerdem Marrakesch, Meknès und Rabat) und galt nach der Begründung der Qarawiyin-Universität als geistiges Zentrum der Region. Fès ist die Hauptstadt der Region Fès-Meknès, eine der 12 Regionen Marokkos.
Fez (Arabic: فاس, Berber: Fas, ⴼⴰⵙ, French: Fès) is a city in northern inland Morocco and the capital of the Fas-Meknas administrative region. It is the second largest city in Morocco after Casablanca,[4] with a population of 1.4 million (2014). Located to the northeast of Atlas Mountains, Fez is situated at the crossroad of the important cities of all regions; 206 km (128 mi) from Tangier to the northwest, 246 km (153 mi) from Casablanca, 169 km (105 mi) from Rabat to the west, and 387 km (240 mi) from Marrakesh to the southwest which leads to the Trans-Saharan trade route. It is surrounded by the high grounds, and the old city is penetrated by the River of Fez flowing from the west to east.
Fez was founded under the Idrisid rule during the 8th-9th century. It consisted of two autonomous and competing settlements. The migration of 2000 Arab families in the early 9th century gave the nascent city its Arabic character. After the downfall of the Idrisid dynasty, several empires came and went until the 11th century when the Almoravid Sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin united the two settlements and rebuilt the city, which became today's Fes el Bali quarter. Under the Almoravid rule, the city gained the reputation for the religious scholarship and the mercantile activity. Fez was expanded during the Almohad rule and became the largest city in the world during 1170-1180 with the estimated population of 200,000.
Fez reached its zenith in the Marinid-era, regaining the status as the capital. Numerous madrasas, mosques, zawiyas and city gates were constructed which survived up until today. These buildings are considered the hallmarks of Moorish and Moroccan architectural styles. Marinid sultans also founded Fes Jdid quarter, where newer palaces and gardens were established. During this time, the Jewish population of the city grew as well, with the Mellah (Jewish quarter) attracting the Jewish migrants from other North African regions. After the overthrow of the Marinid dynasty, the city largely declined and replaced by Marrakesh for political and cultural influence, but remained as the capital under the Wattasids and modern Morocco until 1912.
Today, the city largely consists of two old medina quarters, Fes el Bali and Fes Jdid, and modern urban area of Ville Nouvelle constructed during the French colonial era. The medina of Fez is listed as a World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones (car-free areas).[5] It has the University of Al Quaraouiyine which was founded in 859 and the oldest continuously functioning university in the world. It also has Chouara Tannery from the 11th century, one of the oldest tanneries in the world. The city has been called the Mecca of the West and the Athens of Africa, a nickname it shares with Cyrene in Libya.
MOROCCO: In the Imperial City of Fes
Welcome to the Mecca of the West and the Athens of Africa. After almost 9 hours of train ride from Marrakesh, we finally arrived to our last leg of adventure in Morocco, the oldest imperial city in Morocco, FEZ. The city has two old medina quarters, the larger of which is Fes el Bali. It is listed as a World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones (car-free areas). Also, in this city you can find the oldest continuously functioning university in the world, the University of Al Quaraouiyine, which was founded in 859. Fes is an exciting and unique Moroccan city to explore with so much life and colour. The busy streets of the old medina, the breathtaking skylines, the authentic tannery and delightful spirit of Moroccans are just a few of the best experiences you will have when you are here! ????????????????

Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military settlement, Meknes became a capital under Sultan Moulay Ismaïl (1672--1727), the founder of the Alawite dynasty. The sultan turned it into a impressive city in Spanish-Moorish style, surrounded by high walls with great doors, where the harmonious blending of the Islamic and European styles of the 17th century Maghreb are still evident today.
