Fes is Morocco's cultural and spiritual capital — Fes el-Bali is the world's largest car-free medina, a maze of 9,000 alleys of souks, madrasas, and dye pits. Get lost (intentionally), see the tanneries from a terrace, and stay in a riad. It's the deepest medieval experience in Morocco; Marrakech is the show, Fes is the substance.
