Take the picturesque entrance to the old quarter by passing through Bab Bou Jeloud, a grand archway covered in blue mosaics. Built in 1913, the monumental gate was originally intended to provide protection for the medina; however, the advent of heavy artillery compromised its effectiveness, so it opted instead to intimidate with its attractiveness. The shimmering blue mosaic features floral patterns, geometric shapes, and calligraphy. Today, locals and tourists use this local landmark as a meeting place.

Bab Bou Jeloud is a very pretty gate to enter the amazing Medina of Fes. The outside is more blue and inside green. You don't need a long time to see it, but it is beautiful.

One of the many gates into the Medina. A great place to catch a taxi or to use it as a landmark. All taxis’ know this place well so you can show them a picture if you arrive by bus or CTM and cannot pronounce the name properly. Outside is blue , inside is green.

Blue gate becomes tourists attraction. One of the major gate that was built in 1913. Behind the gate you will discover Moroccan history. And, you will see arts and crafts, food and fun shopping here. Fascinating local market with lots of local products. Affordable prices. I was very excited and had a good time, so much fun here. However, mind your wallet. It crowded here.
