Along with Fès Jdid (New Fez) and the European style town (Ville nouvelle in French) the Medina of Fez is one of the main districts of the city. Your morning tour here will take you to the most attractive locations of the Medina of Fez such as the Bou Inania Madrasa (very old koranic school), the Nejjarine Fountain; Attarine Madrasa (another old koranic school), Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum, and the famous Qarawiyyin Mosque (outside visit).
