Fez is set for something special, but only those who are there will truly feel it.
Fez – Fez, the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco, is getting ready for an exciting event this Sunday: the Fez Marathon.
This race will bring together runners from different cities and even other countries, all eager to experience the charm of this historic city while pushing their limits.
Fez is not like Casablanca with its modern lifestyle, nor does it have the flashy energy of Marrakech.
It stays true to its traditions and deep-rooted values.
Walking through its streets feels like traveling back in time. The old Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981, is one of the best-preserved in the Arab world.
Founded in the 9th century, it is home to Al Quaraouiyine University, one of the oldest in existence.
This marathon is not just about running. It is about discovering Fez in a unique way.
Participants will pass through ancient streets, beautiful mosques, and historic sites.
The route might take them near traditional markets, past skilled artisans working with leather and metal, and through lively squares filled with the sounds of daily life.
