Discover the magic of Fes: an imperial city steeped in history and culture

Immerse yourself in the thousand-year history of Fez, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, set among majestic mountains. Designated as capital by several Moroccan dynasties over the centuries, Fez plays a special role in the country’s history.

Fez, the second largest city in the Kingdom of Morocco by population, is one of the country’s most important and fascinating tourist destinations. Here you can find luxurious hotels and archaeological sites that testify to its rich Islamic civilization.

The influx of thousands of tourists from all over the world has led to an increase in the number of luxury hotels in Fez, which offer impeccable services to visitors to the city. If you are looking for first-class accommodation, high-end hotels in the heart of the city are an ideal choice over rental apartments, especially if you want high-quality hotel service.

Fez is also famous for its craft traditions. Inside the medina, you can admire artisans working with wool and copper. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the charming tanneries to witness the process of dyeing and processing the hides. A small souk on the outskirts of town is dedicated to the art of pottery, where you can discover unique and fascinating creations.

Sights not to be missed during your visit include Fes el-Bali, the old city of Fez, a lively and fascinating neighborhood that deserves at least a day of exploration. Here you will find mosques, fountains, tanneries, craft stalls and an ancient Medersa. Prepare a TopoGuide to navigate the alleys that form a veritable labyrinth.

Not far from Bab Boujrouud, you can admire the Médersa Bou Inania, a 14th-century school with a charming marble and onyx courtyard embellished with carved wooden sculptures.

Also visit the Madrasa Al-Attarine, famous for its beautiful courtyard decorated with zellige (glazed tiles) and carved wooden columns. Although admission is charged, the history and beauty of the interior are definitely worth a visit.

Do not miss the opportunity to see the Glaoui, a neighborhood inhabited by the descendants of ancient noble families, who unfortunately live in precarious conditions, surrounded by abandoned buildings. It may be inaccessible for a while, but its beauty will leave you speechless, marking the end of one of Morocco’s most fascinating stories.

Finally, visit the Karaouine Mosque, built in the 9th century and still beautifully preserved. The mosque is open only to practicing Muslims, but you can admire its magnificent facade and beautiful courtyard during guided tours of the Fez Medina.
