Fes is one of the few medieval imperial cities in the Islamic world whose monuments remain in active use. The Bou Inania Madrasa (1350–1357), commissioned by Marinid sultan Abu Inan Faris, is the only madrasa in Fes still functioning as a Friday mosque. The al-Qarawiyyin mosque-university, founded in 859 CE by Fatima al-Fihri, contains the world's oldest still-operating library, restored and reopened to the public in 2016. The Chouara tannery in Fes el-Bali has produced leather using the same dye pits since the 11th century. This page lists the attractions in Fes that we have personally visited, with verified opening hours and practical tips.
