Moroccan imperial city in the Atlas foothills — anchored by Fes el Bali (the UNESCO World Heritage medina, the largest car-free urban area in the world by some measures, with 9,000+ narrow alleyways) and the famous tanneries (Chouara). Fes el Bali, Fes el Jdid, and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-colonial new city) are the three layers. Morocco offers 90-day visa-free entry for many western passports. The structural draws are unmatched Islamic-medieval architectural density, the Karaouine (founded 859 CE, sometimes cited as the world's oldest continuously-operating university), and meaningfully cheaper-than-Marrakech pricing.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
