Morocco has a rich Jewish history. Fez is home to one of the oldest Melachas in Morocco with architecture from ancient times. On this tour we will visit the Malacha, where Jews lived, the synagogue and the Jewish cemetery where we will visit the grave of the oldest Rabai.
Fez has long been home to the largest and oldest Jewish community in Morocco, which has existed since the city was founded by the Idrisids (8th-9th centuries). They lived in many parts of the city together with the Muslim population.
In the 13th century, a Jewish quarter appeared in Fez. At first the district was known as Hims, and also under the name Mellach because of the source of the salt water in the area or a former salt warehouse. The second name was later saved as the name of the Jewish quarter.
It was the first Mallach in Morocco; the name and phenomenon that was later repeated in many other cities such as Marrakech.
We will have the opportunity to see such an attraction as the Royal Palace of Dar al-Makhzen! As well as synagogues, beautiful old houses and more!
The streets and architecture here are very beautiful and atmospheric! Find out more about Morocco's Jewish culture!
