This happens to be the oldest walled part of Fez, Morocco. Founded as the Capital of the Idris dynasty between 789 and 808 AD. Comprised of innumerous narrow alleyways in this largest surviving ancient medieval city, it is believed to be the world's largest urban pedestrian/car-free zone. The narrow streets are choco-bloc with shops, stalls, mosques, madrasas, and roadside vendors selling dates, spices and fresh cuts of meat. One of its distinctive points is 'The Blue Gate.' These labyrinth alleys open out into towering wooden carved structures encompassing tanneries, prayer halls, and homestays. Once you come out of these serpentine streets, you are once again accosted by cars, buses, and fast food joints, in essence, the modern world.
