Fez Trips & Tours

What to do in Fez

Did you know that there are around 9,000 alleyways to explore in the Fes el Bali medina, which also happens to be one of the oldest in the Arab world? You'll do most (if not all) of your exploring on foot - with a private guide if you'd prefer - scanning the colourful stalls for jewellery, textiles and mementos. Watch in fascination as artisans display skills that have been used for centuries from carving, copper bashing, weaving and perhaps most famously, leather dying. You can even make a stop at one of the world's oldest tanneries! This ancient city has remained almost unchanged since the 8th century and it has the architecture to prove it, including the very first university on Earth. For something a little more personal, join a local family for a trip to the souk, a cooking class and a delicious meal, or learn to make the perfect mint tea. There are also fantastic day trips to the Roman ruins of Bolubilis or Meknes, the wine capital of Morocco.
