This is a smaller version of what you can see at Bou Inania but very beautifully restored and less busy. More

I'm not exaggerating , the Attarin Medersa is one of the most beautiful and spiritual places I have visited in Fez. this theological school with beautiful carvings and a serene atmosphere give a glimps of the history and culture of Morocco..definitely worth visiting it if you are in the area. Fee of 10 Moroccan dirhams (about 1 Euro) is required... More

A small, intricately decorated medersa in central Fes, worth seeing for the beauty of the tiles, plasterwork and wood carving. You can only visit the central courtyard but it is worth it. More
