FES FESTIVAL OF SACRED MUSIC

A Timeless Experience

Each year in May or June, the medina of Fes resonates with a rare harmony, woven from voices from around the world. The festival transforms the imperial city into a vibrant setting for intercultural dialogue and emotion.​

Established in 1994, this unique festival celebrates spiritual music in all its diversity—Sufi, Andalusian, gospel, Gregorian chants, mantras, and music from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. It is recognized by UNESCO as an event contributing to dialogue among civilizations .​

A Meeting with the Universal

The Fes Festival of World Sacred Music offers more than concerts. It invites reflection and sharing through forums, literary gatherings, and exhibitions. Each edition explores a significant theme: peace, spirituality, ecology, and the connection between cultures.​

It is a sensory, intellectual, and spiritual experience—a journey inward and a celebration of tolerance.​

DAR AL TIRAZ

A Place of Transmission and Creation

Dar al Tiraz stands as a beacon of passion and patience, dedicated to reviving an exceptional textile heritage. It offers a unique experience at the heart of Moroccan craftsmanship, welcoming textile enthusiasts, researchers, and curious visitors eager to discover a living and authentic art form.

The Revival of Arabo-Andalusian Patterned Weaving

This establishment is devoted to the renaissance of Arabo-Andalusian patterned weaving, an ancestral art passed down from medieval Andalusia. Today, Dar al Tiraz is among the few workshops worldwide that produce fabrics on a drawloom, thus perpetuating an exceptional savoir-faire.

A Living Heritage

Lampas fabrics are among the most exquisite patterned textiles ever produced by the Islamic world, renowned for its exceptional textile production quality.

Through these fabrics, Dar al Tiraz honors an art and expertise that Fez inherited from medieval Andalusia, contributing to one of the city’s artistic jewels: the famed Fez belts.
