The most mystical of Morocco's imperial cities, Fez was founded in AD 808 by the Moroccan ruler saint Moulay Idris II and under his rule, became the capital and spiritual center of Morocco.
The city is situated in a narrow valley against the backdrop of the Middle Atlas and positioned on the old crossroads of caravan routes connecting the Saharan empires like Timbuktu and Takrur with the Atlantic and the Mediterranean shipping lanes.
Due to this, Fez has remained a commercial center for much of its history.
Today, it is still considered Morocco's premier religious city by virtue of its Islamic traditions.
