Visiting architectural sites

So the main entrance to the Medina is Bab Boujeloud, the beautiful Blue Gate, built in the early twentieth century. It is a gate of three arches decorated with blue tile mosaics, hence its name. It is always a very lively area of the city that is worth contemplating from one of the cafes with terrace around it.

Tour the Mellah, the Jewish quarter of Fez, located next to the Royal Palace in the medina Fez el-Jdid, starting with its main street Rue Mellah and entering its narrow streets. You can also see the green and white minaret of the Andalusian Mosque in the Andalusian Quarter.
