Founded in 808, F猫s is often called 鈥渢he best preserved聽mediaeval city鈥� in North Africa. Held to be Morocco鈥檚聽spiritual capital, it is both magnet for pilgrims from sub-Saharan Africa and a major draw for tourists in search of聽something cultural. The trip to Fes provides students with the聽experience of a city type they are probably unfamiliar with.聽The learning experience therefore is the challenge of travel,how to negotiate cross-cultural encounters and how to put聽that experience into text and images. Students of urban聽form and Place Branding discover Islamic architecture and聽design and how these are part of F猫s鈥� public identity.聽
