This is a medersa which is contemporary with Medersa Attarine. It was built in early 1300’s by Marinid Sultan Abou el Hassan. It is one of the most interesting structures of Fez Medina. You can find it near the Andalusian Mosque. It has a smaller sister Madrasa, called Sbaiyyin, connected to it. Sahrija is a fully functioning Koranic School. It is named after the huge pool in it’s lovely courtyard. The zellij mosaic here is the oldest in Fez and truly a sight to behold. You can see some superb Almohad cedar carvings here.

Stumbled upon this place and knew nothing about it. I was surprised to learn it had been built so recently - about 100 years ago. A big part of the charm is that the place is still owned by and lived in by a descendent of the original family. He collects the fee for visiting. There are no plaques or brochure or guide or signage of any sort. You are literally wandering into the run down old family home of a quirky old fellow, and that is exactly what it feels like. Some rooms feel intact and unchanged for 100 years. Some hallways and staircases are blocked off with old mattresses and bits of furniture. The original kitchen is there, and it is easy to imagine a team of people slaving away in there to create elaborate meals for dozens of people. Beyond a wall I heard chickens and geese, so there is this tantalizing sense that there is more to the palace that one is able to see. It also enforces the idea that this is still a place of residence. If you enjoy old buildings and Moroccan architecture, find this place and plan to spend an hour or so exploring and taking it in. This was one of the highlights of my time in Fes.

Worth while to climb the hill to get a panoramic view of Fes old Medina. We climb early in morning to catch the sun rise. Actually the sun rise is at our back. The view is amazing with morning clouds. There is a fort on top of this hill
