Stop at the fortified village "Ait Benhaddou", UNESCO World Heritage since 1986 and more than worth visiting! The Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou is one of the many places in southern Morocco which was used as natural scenery for many movies, such as "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Jesus of Nazareth".

When entering the streets of the Medina (old city), you really go back in time: a square structure and very narrow streets, so only donkeys and small carts can enter the city.

The Andalusian area, magnificent mosques and Koranic schools will surprise you. Fez has always been associated with study and religiosity and remains the spiritual capital of Morocco.
