Fes Travel Guide
Fes is the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco. Its labyrinthine medina — Fes el-Bali — is one of the world's largest car-free urban areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The streets are alive with the sounds of hammering copper, weavers at their looms and the call to prayer echoing from ancient minarets.
A private guide is highly recommended to navigate the medina, visit ceramic workshops, view the leather tanneries and discover historic madrasas. You Morocco Tours can include Fes in circuits from Casablanca, Tangier or Marrakech, or design a dedicated Fes experience.
