RIAD DAR SKALLI

LOCATED IN THE REGION OF FÈS-BOULEMANE, AT 415 M ALTITUDE, ON THE FERTILE LANDS OF THE SAIS, BETWEEN THE RICH FORESTS OF THE MIDDLE ATLAS AND THE RIF, FEZ IS THE HEART AND THE CULTURAL, INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AND SPIRITUALITY OF MOROCCO.
HERITAGE FROM IMMEMORIAL TIMES WHERE FES WHEN THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL REIGNED OVER A LARGE PART OF THE MAGHREB, A MULTITUDE OF VESTIGES AND RICHES ARE JUST BEGINNING TO BE DISCOVERED BY ITS VISITORS, ESPECIALLY BEHIND THE WALLS OF ITS CITY MEDIEVAL, THE MEDINA. HIGH SPIRITUAL PLACE THANKS TO THIS FAMOUS MOSQUE – KARAOUIYNME UNIVERSITY FORMERLY ATTENDED BY GREAT SCIENTISTS (COMING FROM ALL HORIZONS), FEZ IS ALSO THE GUARDIAN OF THE TREASURES OF ARAB-MOORISH ART.
FEZ IS KNOWN FOR ITS TRADERS, ITS TALENTED ARTISTS AND CRAFTSMEN WHO ARE STILL MANY TO PERPETUATE THEIR TRADES. SEVERAL DISTRICTS, SPECIALIZED ACCORDING TO THE CORPORATIONS, ALLOW CRAFTS TO BE THE DRIVING ACTIVITY OF THE CITY. AMONG OTHER SPECIALTIES, WE FIND IN FEZ BOISSELLERIE, JEWELERY, DINANDERIE, SILK, POTTERY, LEATHER GOODS, BINDING, ETC. ANDALUSIAN MUSIC, BERBER SONGS AND DANCES ARE ALSO APPRECIATED THERE.
THE MEDINA HOSTS A QUANTITY OF BOURGEOIS HOUSES AND SOMPTUOUS PALACES THAT NOTHING FROM THE EXTERIOR LEAVES GUESSING. TO VISIT FEZ IN ITS LABYRINTHS IS TO WALK INTO ITS PAST AND BE A WITNESS TO ITS WEALTH AND ITS SOCIOCULTURAL MIXTURES. HOW MANY CIVILIZATIONS ORIGINATING IN ARABIA, PALESTINE, BERBERS, ANDALUCIA, EUROPE, SAHARA HAVE LEFT THEIR PRINTS HERE? THIS INDESCRIBABLE BLEND OF LIFE AND HISTORY WHERE THE PAST AND THE PRESENT ARE SUBTLY BLENDED IN EVERY CORNER OF THE MEDINA, CAN BOTH DISCONCERT AND FASCINATE.
WHILE EXPLORING FEZ, VISITORS CAN LIVE AN EXPERIENCE THAT IMMERSE, BEYOND PREJUDICE AND APRIORIS, INTO THE LIVING MEMORY OF A CIVILIZATION CLOSE TO THAT THAT MEDIEVAL EUROPE KNEW. IN THE TELESCOPING OF TIMES AND CULTURES, THEY MAY KNOW THE STRANGE FEELING OF GOING BACK IN TIME.
WHILE STAYING IN FEZ, YOU MUST ALSO TASTE ITS FASSIE GASTRONOMY, ONE OF THE MOST REFINED IN THE COUNTRY AND WORLD.
