[🚨Save + Share] 📍Al-Quaraouiyine 🏫 - The oldest operating university in the world …………………….. I’m all schooled out! 😂 But when I discovered that according to the Guinness World Record, the oldest functioning university existed in Fes, I thought…why not give it a go and check it out? 🏫 Al-Quaraouiyine or The University of Al-Karaouine An elaborate madrasa that, since it’s founding in 859 AD, has expanded its teachings from spiritual studies to medicine. Fun Facts 🌺 🔸It was founded by a woman 🔸Both women and men are allowed to study 🔸There is an associated mosque 🕌 that is considered one of the largest in Africa ProTip ⚡️: If you know someone who knows someone 🙊, or maybe just a guide 😆, ask to access one of the rooftop terraces from within the medina. You will be able to have a fantastic view of the mosque and the school, overlooking the city. …………………….. ➡️ Would you visit Al-Quaraouiyine ? #beyondeden🌺 . . . . . #Fez #morocco #beautifulmorocco #Fezmedina #moroccoplaces #exploremorocco #Medina #alquaraouiyine #Fezmorocco #madrasa #moroccotravel #alkaraouine #meettheworld #huffpostgram #Iamatraveler #welltravelled #doyoutravel #livetravelchannel #travelogue #worldplaces #travel #worldcaptures #discovermorocco #igersworldwide #wanderfolk #destination (at University of Al Quaraouiyine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6fe9Iuh9k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
