The British newspaper Daily Telegraph highlights the city of Fez, the eternal jewel
The British newspaper Daily Telegraph celebrated the enchanting city of Fez, highlighting its historic medina where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly through crafts, history, and spirituality.
The article began by focusing on the Batha Museum, once a palace nestled within Andalusian gardens, representing over a millennium of history. This museum traces the legacy of dynasties, migrations, and the evolution of science and craftsmanship.
Visitors marvel at ancient artifacts under vivid wooden ceilings astrolabes, illuminated medical texts, gold-embroidered caftans, and exquisite zellij tilework all reflecting Fez’s intellectual and artistic heritage.
The newspaper also honored the city’s notable figures, including Moulay Idriss II and Fatima al-Fihri, who founded the University of Al-Qarawiyyin more than two centuries before the establishment of the first European university.
From the iconic Bab Boujloud gate to Talaa Kebira street, everyday scenes come alive, showcasing the medieval water clock, Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas, and the bustling perfume market near the Zawiya of Moulay Idriss II, where the air is scented with incense, candles, and rose water.
The piece concludes in the Jnan Sbil gardens during the World Sacred Music Festival, where Senegalese Sufi singers and Spanish flamenco dancers perform under lantern light, accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves.
The Daily Telegraph describes Fez as “a stunning, captivating place unlike any other,” a city where culture, cuisine, and crafts offer visitors a journey through time and space, rewarding those who take the time to explore its rich depths.
