Morocco Travel » Morocco Half-day Tour in Fes

After breakfast at your hotel or riad, your guide will pick you up for a half-day panoramic tour of Fes. Drive through the elegant Mechouar to the impressive Dar el Makhzen, stopping briefly to admire the Royal Palace’s famous seven bronze doors.
Continue through the historic Mellah, known for its vibrant atmosphere and fine examples of Moorish-Hispanic architecture, then head south to the Borj for sweeping panoramic views over the ancient medina.
Next, arrive at Bab Boujloud, the main gate to Fes el-Bali, built in 1913. From here, begin your guided walking tour through the winding alleys of the UNESCO-listed medina. Visit the stunning 14th-century Medersa Bou Inania, the largest madrasa built by the Merinids, and the nearby Dar el-Magana, home to a historic water clock.
Continue to the famous tanneries along the Oued Fes—despite their strong scent, they remain one of the city’s most iconic sights. Walk through the Seffarine Quarter, alive with brass workers, pass the colorful Sebbaghine Street of the Dyers, and explore the Attarine souk, renowned for spices and traditional goods.
Your tour also includes stops at the Al Quaraouiyine University and Mosque and the Attarine Madrasa. Pass by the tomb of Moulay Idriss II, founder of Fez, before finishing at the charming Nejjarine Square, celebrated for its fountain and former caravanserai.
After this immersive walk through over 1,200 years of history, you will be comfortably dropped off at your accommodation.
