Sarah El,Ghazaly Reclaiming Culture: The Heritage Preservation Movement in Fez, Morocco Sarah EI-Ghazaly Senior Thesis Fall 2007 - Spring 2008 Advisor: Dr. Anthony Nownes EI-Ghazaly 1 For travelers who arrive in Fez for the first time, unloading their luggage at either the train station or airport may come with the impression that this Moroccan city is not that different from their hometowns. With paved streets, apartment complexes, and the latest automobiles, Fez in appearance resembles other cities elsewhere. Yet, people's dress varies; some dress in Western fashions while the attire of others looks more like the traditional clothing a tourist would expect to see. The hassle of paperwork at the airport annoys more than usual because the sunny day outside beckons.
