Morocco Travel » Morocco Full-day In Fes

Enjoy a full-day guided tour of Fes, starting directly from your riad or hotel.

Begin with an overview of the city, including the Mellah (Jewish Quarter), the historic ramparts with their iconic gates (babs), and a stop at Dar el Makhzen to admire the Royal Palace’s impressive seven bronze gates. Continue south to the Borj for sweeping panoramic views over the ancient medina.

Next, dive into a guided walking tour of the Medina of Fez—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s largest living medieval cities. Wander through its maze-like alleys, passing the colorful Es-Sebbaghine (Street of the Dyers), the Es-Seffarine quarter where brass and copper artisans work by hand, and the city’s vibrant souks.

Discover the historic Al Quaraouiyine University, one of the oldest universities in the world, then step back in time at the elegant Al-Attarine Medersa. Stroll through the aromatic Attarine Souk, filled with spices and fresh produce, before reaching the banks of the Oued Fes to explore the leather quarters and the famous tanneries.
Near the charming Nejjarine Square, with its fountain and former caravanserai, stop for a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch and a tea break, visit Dar Batha Museum before meeting your driver at Bab Boujloud, the iconic Blue Gate of Fes.
In the afternoon, drive to the 16th-century Potters’ Quarter (El Fakhkharine) to watch skilled artisans shaping and painting traditional ceramics. Finish the day with a drive around the medina’s fortifications and a final panoramic viewpoint from the northern Borj, before returning to your riad or hotel after an unforgettable day in Fes.
