Fez is considered to be the most ancient city in the world. It is the capital of Morocco and is known as the religious, cultural, and an intellectual city. Then and now, it has remained unchanged through the test of time. Fez is both fascinating and historical; and is deemed to be one of the best cities through time.

The view of Fez is extremely and visually appealing.  It is complete with the ancient theme and painted with a steep history and culture. At first glance, the city is exotic and at the same time untidy and elegant. The first ones to see it describes it as a stunning place; and that it couldn't be compared with any other city in the world.

For a very long time, Fez has been the great capital of Morocco. For more than thousands of decades, the city became the lead for Morocco; it is the center of all cultural and religious background, and it also the place where Morocco's largest university was built.

The population of Morocco talks about their place with much fascination and delight. You could hear people talking about how unique their culture is. Truly, they are proud to be in the city of Fez, the greatest in Morocco.

The architectural structure of Fez is built from a city of ruins. More so, the inhabitants call their place as the "living museum". The streets are alleyway for people to pass through; but donkeys and cars couldn't get pass these narrow passageways. However, people became accustomed and carried on with their humble culture.

The society of Fez is both primitive and naïve.  In fact, it has remained this way for over a period of years. Fez is also the home to many best sights, namely: Tanners Quarter, which is the main attraction of the city; Attarin Madrasa, which is a renowned Islamic school; Bab Boujeloud, known as Morocco's popular gate; the Mernid Tombs, that offers spectacular sights overlooking the city; and lastly, the Royal Palace, which is one of Morocco's finest pieces of art.

A strange masterpiece has been built in Morocco's walls, and this is called the Bou Inania mosque. The ensemble looked full of architectural adorations that made the facade look very strange. The mechanism for which this decorated institution works cannot really be understood. However, legend says that this "clock" looking material was designed by some magician. Hence, the device now signifies Fez which implies that time was already halted by the city centuries ago. They call it the "mysterious one" for which it really literally appears.

The environment is full of repeated Arabic and French shouts, making it appear more like a medieval city. Additional facts to this would be the markings on the walls, plus the narrow streets that truly makes the city more crowded to look at. But still, changed or not, Fez still remains to be the number one city of Morocco.

Even with the surrounding bright cities such as Marakesh, Fez remains to be hiding from the world and keeping its ancient history. The surroundings changed themselves from stones to steel; but with simplicity, Fez remained to be classical. It chooses to be far away from the modern world, and it retained its architectural masterpieces all over the place. Still, it is the most enchanted place as compared to all other cities of Morocco.

Exegesis is highly required in Fez. Everything has to be in codes which greatly perplex the minds of the people. These texts appear as jumbled form of words, animal drawings, inaudible voices, and the strangest designs. Every number and shape is contained with a certain idea that brings out a distinct flavor of history.

The Rule of Five

The rule of five is the first key to removing confusion in their inhabitants. Everything has a counter meaning to the number five. If you've noticed it, Islam worshippers pray five times a day, and they have five obligations to fulfill as a neighbor. Also, there are institutions which necessitate the rule of five: for example, neighbors have to have a mosque, a shared fountain, a school, bread oven, and a hammam. Also, designs are subdivided into five types, namely: cedar wood, marble, plaster, calligraphic inscriptions, and mosaic.

These designs are usually decorated over various sacred edifices. Even the colors of tiles in schools are limited to a number of five, and these are: white for purity, blue representing the sky, yellow for money, black signifies depth, and green as being Islam. All the rules mentioned should be properly adhered to with strict notice.

The Fez Cuisine

Fez presents a legendary cuisine.  There should be a bulk in the culinary knowledge since the food is based upon the myths itself. The food has a multi-ethnic background which still uses claypot and other olden tools. Among the most popular of these way forgotten cuisines are souks and Fassi. Noticeably, their culture claims to be a part of their cuisine history. However, other influences in cooking have been put into practice such that of the French and Romans. Not only are the Fez' citizens affected by the cooking of other countries, even in terms of clothing, housing and other culturally significant ways, Fez has been influenced by quite a wide array of cultures.

The Jews are also proven to have made quite a movement with the population's culture. They have made great impacts such that of the culinary world, their modes of preparing the needed items for a meal have been applied by the Fez people.

Although there was only a brief exposure to other cultures, much has been gained by the Fez people. They have learned quite a number of ways which helped them be what they are right now. Like all other countries in the world, Fez also has gained and lost a considerable amount of culture. Perhaps this is the reason why time is ever evolving. Not one city can ever stand the change of time as Fez does. Still, it remains to be a city which is built to stand through the test of time.
