The Best Sight in Fez and the Middle Atlas, Morocco

Built in the 17th century, this is the one of the oldest synagogues in the region and one of the few that remain in the Mellah. It is rarely used as a synagogue today, but its rich cedarwood benches and beams, tiled floors, and brass chandeliers have been maintained. The guardian can show you its most important features, including the original gazelle-skin Torah scrolls and the subterranean mikvah (ritual bath).
