This from the website, "Fès does not reveal herself easily. To gain access, it is necessary to enter through the gate of the Sacred, which is both visible and veiled. Because Fès is a sanctuary, the Sufis, the Muslim mystics, have always called it the Zawia, or sanctuary. Upon arriving at the gates of the city, a traveler coming from afar would know that the hospitality he was seeking would come from the city's founder and patron saint of the city. For early travelers, Fès was the city of Moulay Idriss."
