University of al Karaouine - جامعة القرويين‎





Long before Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard or any other university ever existed. The University of al Karaouine was founded in 859 located in Fes, Morocco
The al Karaouine institution is considered by the Guinness book the oldest continuously operating academic degree-granting university in the world.
Do you know who the founder is?
Fatima al Fihri, a Muslim woman from Tunis who decided to dedicate her life to building the University and Mosque once her parents had passed away.
