Fès el-Bali (Medina)

The world's largest car-free medina, home to Fez's boutique riad market

About Fès el-Bali (Medina)

Fès el-Bali is a living medieval city, a UNESCO-listed medina of 9,500 alleys where artisans, mosques and the ancient Al-Qarawiyyin University share space with riad guesthouses catering to cultural travellers. For investors the opportunity is the riad conversion, turning a centuries-old courtyard house into boutique accommodation. It is a passion-and-tourism play rather than a conventional yield one: renovation of protected fabric is expensive, there is no car access, and resale buyers are few, so it rewards operators who understand the heritage product they are buying.
