Founded in the 8th century AD, the city of Fes has a long history that influenced its development, yet some parts of it have not changed at all in the last few hundred years. One of those districts is the Fes el-Bali Medina. Located behind a wall, the Medina has narrow alleys you can only reach on foot, where merchants and skilled craftsmen sell products like fish, various spices, dates, urns, fantastic-looking carpets and even musical instruments.
