Famous thinkers, intellectuals and scholars have stayed. One can quote the historian Ibn Khaldoun, the poet and writer Ibn Al Khatib, the philosopher Averroes (Ibn Rushd), the explorer and traveler Leo Africanus (the thinker Hassan), etc. The university hosted over 300 students taking courses taught by renowned professors at the time, and this in different disciplines such as notaries, justice, grammar, theology, astronomy, etc. From the tenth century, the university has a library of over 30,000 books, including 10,000 manuscripts. - Nowadays Quaraouiyine the world-renowned in the medina of Fez. - It is the oldest shrine in Fez.

Once a year, in September, a moussem is organized to pay homage to the patron saint of the city, is the Zawiya, with the mosque of Moulay Idriss II, between Place Nejjarine and the souk Attarine - Between the Souk Al Attarine Nejjarine and instead, stands majestically Foundouk Nejjarine, built in the eighteenth century during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail.
