On Wednesday, the New Fes neighborhood is experiencing a surge in tourism as groups of Jewish visitors flock to the Mellah and the historical sites that commemorate the Jewish memory within the city. Fes, known for its rich historical significance as a bastion of religious coexistence, boasts a Jewish heritage that spans centuries and highlights the diverse cultural tapestry of the region.
In contrast to the recent controversy in Marrakech, where some Jewish visitors sparked significant debate on social media after performing Talmudic prayers at Bab Doukkala, the activities in Fes appear to take on a more exploratory and historical tone, focusing on the ancient monuments and neighborhoods that tell the story of the Jewish community. Visitors annually tour the Mellah, particularly the Mellah Cemetery, to pay their respects to their ancestors, in addition to visiting various Jewish institutions within New Fes.
