Al-Attarine Madrasa
In 1325, Abu Said Uthman II undertook the construction of the Al-Attarine Madrasa, a name derived from its proximity to a historic souk renowned for perfume and spices—a literal translation of "Madrasa of the Perfumers." This institution served as a prestigious religious high school, exclusively for high-achieving male students. Notably, a significant number of these scholars would later pursue their studies at the nearby Kairaouine University, an educational establishment with roots dating back to 859 AD. While exploring the captivating Fez medina on guided walking tours, many visitors choose to bask in the serene beauty of this Madrasa, providing a perfect respite from the lively streets beyond. Please keep in mind that admission fees of 20 DH per person are not included in the tour.
