2026 Fes Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in March)

And it was Riad Damia Suet and SPA In Fez This is not just a hotel, but a true palace: zellige mosaics, carved arches, marble fountains, and the tranquility of the inner courtyard where time seems to stand still. Here, mornings begin with the aroma of Moroccan coffee, and evenings end with sunsets on the panoramic terrace overlooking the ancient medina. We truly loved this riad, and it might be the only one of its kind in the city of Fez.

Of course, it's Fez. If you haven't been to Fez, you haven't seen Morocco. But there are specially trained people there who guide people lost in the Medina. Be careful. It's the largest old city in the world. Turn off a wide street and you find yourself in a local house, where Moroccan life rages on several floors. Children live with their parents and often have their own floor. And in the common room in the center, the family gathers for dinner. Traditional tea is brewed in long-spouted teapots. Lots of mint and sugar are added. And you can recognize the famous tanneries of Fez by their aroma. Upon entering, you'll be given a mint bush. Be sure to take one. You might find the atmosphere difficult to bear, especially in the heat. You can still buy hand-tanned leather goods here. You can see these hides hanging to dry on the walls. This is where the filming of the series "Clone" took place #Medina #Medina #Fed #Morocco #Morocco #Africa

Fes Old City is a treasure of Morocco’s history and culture, like a living medieval museum that attracts 🤩 countless visitors eager to explore its mysterious 😏 charm. Upon arriving in Fes, the first Islamic city in North Africa established by Arab conquerors, you immediately get a sense of traveling through time. We stayed at a hotel 🏨 in the new district outside the old city, which featured strong Arab characteristics—towering domes and exquisite decorations made us feel as if we were inside a story from One Thousand and One Nights. After breakfast 🥣, we headed toward Fes Old City. From afar, we saw the famous Bab Bou Jeloud, the Blue Gate. It is a landmark of Fes, composed of three symmetrical arches adorned with hundreds of thousands of mosaic tiles. The exquisite Arab arches and intricate mosaic patterns shimmered mysteriously under the sunlight. Passing through the Blue Gate, we officially entered Fes Old City, as if stepping back into the Middle Ages. The old city’s streets are narrow and winding, like a huge maze. It is said there are over 9,400 streets extending randomly without any order. Even with GPS navigation 🗺️, it’s easy to get lost. On both sides of the alleys are centuries-old buildings, with many wooden beams placed horizontally to prevent collapse. Traditional handcrafted shops fill the streets, displaying a dazzling array of handicrafts, leather goods, copper plates, carpets, mosaic artworks, and more. Craftsmen focus intently on making traditional handicrafts inside their shops, passing down skills that have lasted for hundreds of years. Following our guide, we arrived at the Chouara Leather Tanneries, one of the most iconic sights in all of Fes. Even before getting close, a strong odor hit us. The guide gave each of us a few mint leaves to cover our noses. From the viewing platform, we could see the large, colorful dye vats below, where craftsmen use traditional techniques passed down for a thousand years to make leather. These vats look like giant palettes, with indigo, ochre, crimson, and other colors especially vivid under the sunshine ☀️. Fes’s “notorious” smell mainly comes from the ancient tanning methods used in traditional tanneries like Chouara, where the strong, widespread odor has become a signature “scent memory.” The core sources of the smell are: 1. Tanning formula: Hair removal and degreasing use lime water plus soaking in cow urine (about one week), followed by softening with a pigeon dung solution high in ammonia (soaked about two weeks). This is the main source of the pungent odor, mixing with the smell of decaying rawhide oils, sharp and long-lasting. 2. Environment and process: The tanneries are mostly open-air, with hundreds of large dye vats densely arranged. The scorching sun accelerates odor evaporation; all work is done by hand, with workers barefoot, and waste and smells dissipate slowly, often spreading to surrounding streets. 3. Other factors: The old city’s narrow alleys have poor ventilation, causing odors to linger; some areas have simple waste and sewage treatment from traditional slaughterhouses and workshops, which also worsen the smell. This “stink” is a mark of Fes’s traditional craftsmanship. Though pungent, it carries the spirit and cultural heritage of centuries of artisans and is a highly distinctive experience of visiting Fes. Next, we visited the Abu Inan Quranic School, a mosque 🕌 and the only Quranic school in Fes with a minaret. Its exquisite mosaics and carvings showcase the superb skills of medieval craftsmen. We also passed by the Royal Palace of Fes. Although entry was not allowed, the magnificent golden gates were entirely hand-crafted with embossed patterns. The walls were inlaid with blue-toned mosaics, and the exterior was decorated with green mosaics symbolizing Islam, leaving us in awe of its luxury. During our tour of Fes Old City, we felt as if we were in a world full of magical colors. Every street, every building, every handcrafted item carries a long history and rich cultural meaning. It is like a giant magnetic field, attracting 🤩 people to continuously explore and discover, making one intoxicated and reluctant to leave.

Pair with a mint green long dress for a fresh and elegant look against the vibrant pottery backdrop. 📸 🏺 Handicraft paradise: Watch pottery artisans create on the wheel, paint exquisite patterns with traditional plant-based dyes, then fire them in ancient kilns.

Shops often hand you a few mint leaves to hold under your nose, instantly unlocking the fun experience of “smelling mint while watching a visual masterpiece”! This is definitely a unique “stinky” beauty in the world! 🐎 The joy of getting lost: Don’t be afraid to get lost; around the corner you might meet donkeys carrying goods, a madrasa hiding exquisite mosaics, or a fragrant spice stall. This is the greatest joy of exploring Fes! 📌 Helpful Tips: · It’s best to hire a local guide, or you might really start doubting your life choices. · Visiting the tanneries is free, but shops expect you to shop, so just browse politely. · Outfit suggestion: bright or solid color long dresses stand out beautifully against the ancient backdrop.

Fez is like a living Moroccan ancient city. The old medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with 9,000 alleys forming a maze. The air is filled with the scents of spices, leather, and mint tea. Getting lost in this old city is something every traveler must experience. I recommend finding a local guide to lead the way and explain the sights~ My first stop was a mosaic workshop, where I observed the entire mosaic-making process. You can even make a tagine pot by hand and DIY your own mosaic piece. Then, I wandered into the maze-like old city to see the craftsmanship left by time. The Al-Attarine Madrasa’s exquisite mosaics and wood carvings are breathtaking. Here is the world’s oldest traditional tannery, where cow, sheep, and camel hides are degreased, soaked in a mixture of lime water, pigeon droppings, and cow urine, then air-dried. The sight and smell of the dye vats create a stunning sensory experience. It’s recommended to wear a mask or bring a small bottle of mint essential oil. The sounds of copper hammering, artisans polishing, and sheepskin soaking in the old city... Though seemingly chaotic, it is a rhythm unique to Morocco.

When you visit Morocco, you must include the city of Fez in your itinerary. What to Do in Fez Morocco for a Day Fez is known as the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site with one of the world’s oldest medinas, iconic mosques, and a rich artisan tradition. Here are the top 5 things we did to make the most of our day in Fez. 1. EXPLORE THE FEZ MEDINA (FES EL-BALI) Start your day with a stroll through Fes el-Bali, the ancient walled medina of Fez. Enter through one of the monumental gates, like Bab Bou Jeloud (the Blue Gate). This gate was our first sight of the medina, and we have to say it looks impressive, serving as a reminder of the grand place we were about to enter. The intricate mosaic tiles decorating this gate will be one of your first tastes of Fez’s exquisite craftsmanship. As you step into the medina, you’ll immediately be transported back in time. The narrow streets are filled with the scent of spices, the sound of traders haggling, and the sight of donkey carts transporting goods through alleyways too small for modern cars. Things to look for in the Fez Medina: - The busy Rue Talaa Kebira is one of the main thoroughfares lined with colorful stalls. - The bustling Souks (markets) are where you can find handcrafted goods, from traditional Moroccan textiles to jewelry and ceramics. - Donkey carts: The medina is largely car-free, so you’ll see donkeys and mules carrying goods through the narrow streets, a living testament to traditional Moroccan commerce. 2. VISIT THE AL-ATTARINE MADRASA After exploring the medina, make your way to Madrasa Al-Attarine, a stunning example of Islamic architecture. Built in the 14th century during the Marinid dynasty, this madrasa was an important center of learning, where students came to study Islamic theology and law. 3. VISIT A TRADITIONAL TANNERY No visit to Fez is complete without seeing one of the city’s famous tanneries, where leather goods have been produced for centuries using traditional methods. You need to find the shop with number 10. The Chouara Tannery is the largest and most iconic tannery in the city, offering a fascinating and colorful glimpse into this ancient craft. From a viewpoint overlooking the tannery, you’ll see the large stone vats filled with various natural dyes. 4. PASS BY THE AL-KARAOUINE MOSQUE AND UNIVERSITY Continue your walk through the medina and pass by the Al-Karaouine Mosque, home to one of the world’s oldest universities. Founded in 859 AD by Fatima al-Fihri, this institution is recognized as the longest continually operating university in the world. While non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the mosque, the exterior is still worth a visit. 5. GET LOST IN THE SOUKS AND SHOP FOR SOUVENIRS Fez is known for its skilled artisans, so you’ll find a wide variety of handmade goods to bring back home. #fez #fezmedina #fes #morocco #moroccotravel #fezmedina #history #architecture

#falladventures The Sahara stretches beyond the horizon with towering dunes sculpted by the wind, glowing amber under morning light. The silence is deep, the nights filled with stars brighter than anywhere else. Sitting on the sand, you feel the desert’s calm power—a reminder of how vast the world is and how peaceful it feels to simply exist in a moment without noise.

My #morocco trip was truly one to remember. It is full of contrasts, culture, and incredible scenery. I started in #Marrakesh, where I explored the Ben Youssef Madrasa and enjoyed a coffee experience at Bacha Coffee an elegant, aromatic, and worth the hype. BUT warning, the queue may be long. Marrakesh itself can feel overwhelming at first, the medina is hectic and chaotic, but it’s also bursting with life, colors, and history. If you’re an introvert like me, brace yourself: your social battery will drain faster than your phone GPS. 😆 Next, I joined a 3-day desert tour from Marrakesh to Fes, passing through Ben Haddou (a UNESCO site famous for its desert fortifications) and spending a night in the Sahara Desert. The camel ride at sunset was absolutely magical, quiet, vast, and surreal. The desert experience was easily the highlight of my Morocco journey. In Fes, I visited the Tannery and the Bou Inania Madrasa, both fascinating glimpses into Morocco’s craft and history. The old medina here feels more authentic and less touristy than Marrakesh. From there, I continued to the beautiful Chefchaouen, the iconic Blue City, where every corner looked like a painting, calm, photogenic, and much more relaxing. My final stops were Rabat and Casablanca, where I visited the Hassan II Mosque a stunning finale to my Moroccan adventure. Overall, Morocco is a country that stirs every sense chaotic yet captivating. While some cities can feel intense, the architecture, history, and the Sahara’s silence made the trip unforgettable. Tips for future traveller 1. If you’re introverted, please mentally prepare. Morocco can be a sensory overload (and no, noise-canceling headphones won’t save you 🥲). 2. Learn to say “no” or “la” (in Arabic) politely but firmly. The street vendors and guides can be persistent. 3. Cash is king! many places don’t take cards. 4. Plan for downtime! After Marrakesh or Fes, give yourself a slower day in Chefchaouen or the desert to reset. 5. And most importantly: embrace the chaos. Morocco isn’t meant to be “perfect”; it’s meant to be experienced.

Morocco has so much beauty to offer but the summer season can awfully overcrowded. I recommend visiting in the off season, Feb-May when the weather is just right and the you get to experience the local culture. Even in the off season you can choose from a range of activities, including safaris, resorts, beaches, hikes, museums, local tours, luxury hotel stays, traditional tea ceremonies and much more!

🌟 Fes Medina: A One Thousand and One Nights Courtyard Dream 📜 **The Past and Present of Fes** As Morocco's oldest imperial city, Fes has a history of over 1,200 years. Its Medina (old town) is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, resembling a real-life version of "One Thousand and One Nights." Walking through the maze-like alleys, you can almost hear the medieval camel bells — this was once the terminus of caravan trade routes, laden with Sahara gold, Mediterranean glass, and silk and spices from the distant East. 🏰 **Riad Bahia Palace: The "Paradise Oasis" of the Medina** This traditional courtyard house hidden in the Derb Ahl alleys perfectly embodies the essence of Moroccan architecture. Opening the heavy wooden door instantly transports you to another world: - **Courtyard Aesthetics**: At the center is a classic Arabic fountain, surrounded by geometric Zellige mosaic tiles. Sunlight filters through carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows, with every detail telling the story of the fusion between Andalusian and Berber civilizations. - **Secrets of the Rooftop**: Be sure to climb up to the terrace at dawn or dusk! Overlooking the entire old city of Fes, the minarets light up one by one in the pink glow, with the Atlas Mountains faintly visible in the distance. (Key tip for the stay: the best photo spot is the west corner of the terrace, where you can capture both the courtyard and the city panorama!) - **A Feast for the Senses**: The hotel’s tagine dinner is exceptional. Slow-cooked lamb with apricots and saffron, tender and flavorful; the moment mint tea is poured from the silver pot, the aroma rises with the steam — evoking the Moroccan romance of "Casablanca." ✨ **Exclusive Guest Bonus** It is said this building was once the residence of a 19th-century spice merchant, and hidden compartments beneath the courtyard tiles still preserve the treasure hiding spots (now used as a wine cellar). The butler Youssef warmly shares stories from old photos and will teach you how to say "Shukran" (thank you) in Berber.

The Marinid Tombs are a set of ruined monumental tombs on a hill above and north of Fes al-Bali, the old city of Fez, Morocco. They were originally a royal necropolis for the Marinid dynasty which ruled over Morocco in the 13th to 15th centuries. The tombs are attributed to the 14th century, during the Marinid dynasty, hence their name. The site is a popular lookout point over the historic city of Fez. The Marinids conquered Fez in 1250 (CE) and turned it into their capital, eventually cementing this status by building a new fortified palace-city, Fes el-Jdid, in 1276 alongside the existing old city (Fes el-Bali). The Marinids established a fortified palace on the hill to the north of Fes el-Bali known as al-Qula (today also known as the “Hill of the Marinids”). The palace also included a mosque and a bathhouse. The Marinid Tombs are a testament to the rich history of Morocco and the architectural prowess of the Marinid dynasty. #christmastrip
