Fez is one of the oldest cities in Morocco, and its medina is full of history. Nowadays, people tend to move to the new town, as, admittedly, living in the medina is not very practical.
Fez is a less frequent choice for expats, who are more attracted to Marrakesh or Casablanca. But this city has its charm – which also attracts many Anglo-Saxons.
