Fez is an ancient North African foundation. The walls of its medina are one of the oldest UNESCO world heritage sites in Africa and the university is the oldest in the world. This 4-day city break combines modern luxury with North African flare. Although the political capital of Morocco was transferred to Rabat in the early twentieth century, Fez has retained its status as the country's cultural capital.
