Jewish Quarter

Quarter Fez, Fes - Meknes, Morocco

What to expect

The Jewish Quarter, also known as the Mellah of Fez, is a historic neighborhood in Fez, Morocco. It was established in the 15th century and is home to several important landmarks, including the Ibn Danan synagogue and a Jewish cemetery with 400-year-old tombstones. The Mellah was once a thriving Jewish community, but many of its residents left after World War II. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, with many visitors drawn to its rich history and cultural significance. The neighborhood is also home to the Centre Communautaire "Maimonide", a community center that offers a kosher restaurant and a modern synagogue. Families can explore the narrow streets and alleys of the Mellah, visit the historic synagogues, and learn about the history and culture of the Jewish community in Fez
