Fez | A labyrinthine medieval imperial city

In 1981, Fez was inscribed as a World Heritage site. Some say that to understand the true appearance of other countries a thousand years ago, you can only read books, but in Morocco, you have Fez. The ancient city of Fez is a living 'One Thousand and One Nights,' its magic has not faded with time. For a thousand years, the ancient city of Fez has been a gathering place for merchants and traders, bustling with people. Despite the ever-changing world, it remains unchanged, as if sealed, yet always lively. Shops selling traditional Moroccan goods, the clash of colors, the chaotic light and shadows, the cluttered street corners, and the dazzling array of goods are everywhere; The bustling crowds jostle each other, merchants, citizens, tourists, all those who are in it, brushing past each other across countless times, yet walking on the same river of time. The ancient city of Fez may be the only place in the world today that retains the appearance of street life during the peak of Arab civilization. When you are in it, it is as if you have traveled into the story of 'One Thousand and One Nights': densely packed houses of various styles, crisscrossing streets like a maze, making it difficult to distinguish east from west, north from south, and to find the entrance and exit; everywhere are shops, stalls, and various workshops, the grocery stores are dazzling, and the lamp and carpet shops are even more colorful~ Traditional houses built along the mountain are densely packed, rising and falling. The old city, which has experienced a thousand years, is earthy yellow, with the tallest being the tall mosques dotted among them. The labyrinthine city design looks chaotic, this disorderly layout is the product of hundreds of years of historical evolution. When the sun sets, the ancient city is shrouded in cooking smoke, looking dreamy against the light, and the old city's broken walls are dyed golden by the sunset. Boujloud Blue Gate
