Highlights

Fez sightseeing tour will take you back in time to explore the secrets of this enchanting city, the capital of medieval Morocco. Fez medina is a large labyrinth of winding alleys. It’s famous for its fascinating architecture in riads, palaces, museums, and Medersas; but also for its busy souks and crafts areas. Traditionally, the exploration of the medina starts at the Bab Boujloud Gate, also known as the Blue Gate. Nearby, there is the Batha Museum (closed on Tuesdays and national holidays), then the mid-14th century Bou Inania Medersa, with its cedar woodwork, its sculptured stucco, marble, and beautiful calligraphy.

About Fez

Fez is Morocco's old imperial capital and cultural heart, with a vast walled medina of lanes, souks, tanneries and medieval religious schools.

Fes el-Bali, the old medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living medieval city where donkeys and handcarts still carry goods through narrow lanes. Its best-known gateway, the Bab Bou Jeloud with its blue and green tiles, leads into a maze of souks, fountains and old caravanserais.
