Fabulous
Fez (Fés), Morocco's
most imperial city
Now
that so many of our friends and colleagues are
planning to join us in Fez for an extended stay,
before and after the ATA 6th Symposium in December,
here is some background on Morocco's imperial citiy
and symbolic heart, religious and cultural
center.
Surrounded by medieval gates and walls, old fez,
(the Medina of Fez el-Bali) is a jewel within
itself. The area's rich and colorful history is
evident everywhere you
wander.
With the Sheraton Fès
(below) as the home base of
ATA's Cultural and Ecoutourism Symposium, the
members, clients and guests will find no end of
interesting places to explore in every direction.
Several prized historic sites are less than an hour
from the Sheraton Fes, (below right) our
headquarters hotel.

is famous for its sheep skin Tanneries and leather
crafts. A leather shop's terrace rooftop in the
Tanneries Quarter of the Medina offers a
fascinating view of the enormous dye pits. Every
few days the colors are changed
