Enter the world’s oldest university, Fiskarouin, Morocco.

Morocco is an Islamic country with a long history. As the former imperial city of Fes, it has a unique religious atmosphere. It not only has the oldest university in the world, but also has more than 30 mosques🕌 and 6 religious colleges. In the eyes of the world today, Harvard, Yale, and Tsinghua and Peking University immediately appear in the minds of the world's institutions of higher learning. However, more than 1,000 years ago, students traveled across mountains and rivers just to reach Fiskarouin, a mysterious academic palace. The first degree-granting university in the world at the time. Walking into Karouin College, the square courtyard is surrounded by enclosed buildings, which belongs to the classic Moroccan style. It is not only the first university in the world, but also famous for its exquisite Islamic architectural art. The stone carvings and wood carvings on the eaves and walls, as well as the mosaic puzzles everywhere, have beautiful color combinations, various forms, and fine workmanship. They reflect the artistic charm everywhere, which is pleasing to the eye and has a bit of historical charm. The University of Al-Qarouin was founded in 859. Its history is more than 200 years earlier than the University of Bologna, the mother of European universities. It is also a mosque🕌. Al-Qaluin can be called the oldest university in the world and the first university in the world👍👍👍
