Under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the 10th edition of the Fes Festival of Sufi Culture runs from Saturday the 14th to Saturday the 21st of October, under the theme: "Sufism at the meeting of the Wisdom of the World: the road of Sufism from Morocco to India"
The Festival aims to make Moroccans discover or rediscover their own culture and to offer them access to this artistic, intellectual and spiritual wealth. In addition the Festival aims to make Sufism known to the international community as a positive image of Islam, thanks to its universal language of openness and peace.
Through this event, the Festival reinforces the positioning of Morocco in intercultural dialogue by bridging the gap between East and West.
The Festival will question the role of Sufism in the world today, how to link spirituality with the people, the environment and social action.
It will also explore the artistic richness that Sufism inspired: painting, calligraphy, songs and music.
The choice of the Medersa Bounaniya as a major venue is a welcome development
