5 Reasons to stay and visit FEZ in Morocco
1. Fez is the heart of artisanal beauty in Morocco
Crafts are one of the most beautiful attractions of this Moroccan destination. Plan a stop at the henna souk. Apart from the traders who offer henna in all its forms, you will also discover rustic pottery. Outside the medina, the district of potters is also worth a visit. The trays of copper and bronze are other objects that are found especially on the Seffarine square. Dar 7 louyat is also a Riad that was built and renovated with the help of many local artisans and our visitors confirmed that!
2. Fez is a city that hosts one of the oldest universities in the Word (Guess what? Dar 7 Louyat is just few minutes away from it)
The oldest degree granting university – and still in operation – in the world is something to see. Even more interesting, this school and mosque was founded, funded and built by a woman – Fatima al-Fihri. The mosque portion is not open to non-Muslims but there is an entryway that you can look into. Recently the library (the oldest in the world!) connected to the university was restored and is open to the public.
3. Never forget to greet the founder of Fez
Another must-see architectural wonder in Fes Medina is the Moulay Idriss Mausoleum. Have a peek inside and you’ll see the familiar gorgeous and detailed tile work as seen throughout the old city. It contains the tomb of Idris II the founder of the city of Fez, however only Muslims are allowed inside.
4. Fez is an ancient melting pot of many cultures
In the newer section of the old town, Fes el-Jedid, the old Jewish Quarter (or mellah, as it’s known locally) comprises streets lined with large, crumbling house and vibrant marketplaces. Don’t miss the tranquil Jewish cemetery, or the 17th-century Ibn Danan Synagogue. The mellah dates back to the 14th century, when it was established as a refuge for the city’s Jews to protect them from Arab attack in recognition of their importance to the local economy. Initially a place of wealth and status, the Quarter eventually became little better than a European ghetto. Of the 250,000 Jews that once lived here, only a handful remain and have since relocated to the Ville Nouvelle area.
5. Visit Dar 7 Louyat
There are many more things to see in Fez, but we recommend to come and see at least once Dar 7 Louyat that is the closest house to the Seffarine Square, University Al Quaraouyine, The tanneries and many more monuments. It is an old 15th century authentic house that was renovated with detailed attention to the Moroccan identity and Fassi culture, at Dar 7 Louyat we host many passionate guests. Enough talking YOU SHOUD COME AND SEE BY YOURSELF!

New Video! We’ll Always Have Fez!
There’s more to Morocco than Casablanca and Marrakech. Michele and I were determined to make my birthday trip to Morocco truly unique. We wanted a crash course in the “real” Morocco, so we headed to Fez, the country’s spiritual and cultural center. Like the smells of pigeon excrement and jasmine blossoms pervading the alleyways, Fes was a city of beautiful contradictions. Come explore with us!

“There are no small riads, you’ll see.” My friend Jen joked when I told her of Michele and my plans in Morocco.
I don’t actually know how we found Dar 7 Louyat. Our stay at Dar 7 Louyat was one of the first things that came together for our stay in Morocco and it was our first stop. From our driver at the airport to our informal “bellhops” twists and turns in the medina, Dar 7 Louyat warmly embraced us and welcomed us to Morocco.
