Bab Boujloud Gate

Standing at the threshold of Fes el Bali, Bab Boujloud is more than a city gate, it is the grand entrance to one of the world’s most captivating medinas. Often called the Blue Gate of Fes, this iconic landmark welcomes visitors into the old city with its striking arches, intricate tilework, and lively setting at the edge of the historic centre. The current gate was built in 1913, while an older, simpler gate still stands nearby, linking the site to a much deeper urban history. For many travellers, Bab Boujloud is the first real glimpse of Fes: vibrant, layered, and full of character. Rather than standing apart from the city, it draws you directly into its rhythm, framing the transition from modern streets to the maze of the old medina. In a destination defined by atmosphere and heritage, Bab Boujloud remains one of Fes’ most photographed and most beloved sights.
