Fez is famous for its ancient walled city Fez el Bali, the best-preserved medina in the Arab world and home to the world’s oldest university. A city many compare to the old walled city of Jerusalem. Covering an area of approx 2.8 square km, with an estimated 9500 streets, it is one of the world’s most significant car-free urban areas. Unlike many other old cities around the world, where locals have either been pushed out by tourism or moved to more modern urban developments, there is still a population of over 156,000 still living in the Fez Medina. There is an impalpable rawness about a place where more than 150,000 people still choose to live in the dark confines of an ancient, dense, and dilapidated medina. A city where donkey and hand pulled cart are still the only means of transportation, and ruinous pockets loom around every corner. It is no wonder the entire Fez Medina is a designated Unesco World Heritage of Humanity Site.
