Day 01
Guided Tour of Fes Old Medina
- Meet your tour guide and start your tour of Fes from your riad hotel.
- Head into the old city, known locally as Fes el Bali, arguably one of the world's most fascinating and confounding old cities. Medieval Fes was one of the world's great centres of education and culture, both Islamic and Jewish. Its religious institutions and libraries are legendary, and its mosques are of great renown.
- Walk along the twisting streets and alleyways, passing donkeys piled high with goods, and explore the speciality sections that divide the souk.
- See the historic khans, madrassas, dye pits, and stalls loaded with fruits, herbs, and soups.
- Stroll through a place where the squawk of chickens, the smell of spice, and the sound of hammering copper fill the air; it is not hard to imagine yourself back in the Middle Ages.
- Visit Medersa el Attarine, the tanneries, and the splendid Fondouk Nejjarine, a beautifully restored 18th-century inn.
