Fes's Medina transports visitors through Morocco's vibrant history. Wandering maze-like alleys, travellers discover craftsmen hammering brass, exotic spice scents, and intricate tilework at Bou Inania Madrasa. The world's oldest continuously operating university, Al-Qarawiyyin, sits amid bustling souks selling hand-tooled leather and shimmering textiles. Traditional riads showcase stunning courtyards with ornate tilework and rooftop views of the medieval cityscape. Navigation requires sturdy shoes and adventure‚ no cars traverse these narrow passages, only pedestrians and donkey carts. Visitors can savour authentic tagines and mint tea at family-run eateries nestled between ancient walls.
Fes El Bali
Step into the 9th-century maze of Fes El Bali, where donkeys replace cars on narrow cobblestone paths. This UNESCO treasure trove hides the world's oldest university, intricate madrasas with geometric tilework, and ancient tanneries where leather-dyeing techniques remain unchanged for centuries. Lose yourself among brass lantern makers, spice merchants, and carpet weavers practising crafts passed down through generations. Traditional riads offer peaceful courtyard accommodation away from the bustling souks. Sample authentic tagines and mint tea at family-run restaurants throughout this walkable medieval wonderland. While navigation can be challenging, local guides help visitors discover hidden corners of Morocco's cultural and spiritual heart.
Ville Nouvelle
Ville Nouvelle buzzes with European charm where tree-lined boulevards showcase elegant Art Deco buildings. You can stroll through this French colonial district, stopping at lively cafés spilling onto pavements and exploring the fountain at Place de la Résistance. The contrast between this organised grid and the ancient medina nearby gives travellers a fascinating glimpse into Morocco's modern cultural identity. Getting around is a breeze with city buses and petit taxis connecting you to the medina just 15 minutes away. The area offers French-Moroccan fusion restaurants, modern boutiques, and mid-range to luxury hotels housed in beautiful colonial buildings. After dark, the sophisticated café culture and upscale dining scene create a pleasant evening atmosphere.
Talaa
Step into Talaa's labyrinthine alleys where medieval Fes comes alive in technicolour glory. The ornate Bou Inania Madrasa showcases mind-blowing Islamic craftsmanship while the vibrant Chouara Tanneries offer a glimpse into ancient leather-making techniques. Stroll through bustling souks where artisans hammer brass, weave carpets, and carve cedar using skills passed down for generations. Traditional Moroccan cuisine dominates family-run restaurants tucked inside converted riads with stunning courtyard gardens. Getting around means surrendering to your feet—the narrow passages prohibit vehicles but reward explorers with unexpected treasures. Accommodation range from simple guesthouses to luxurious riads featuring intricate tilework and rooftop terraces.
Mellah
Mellah offers a fascinating dive into Fes's historic Jewish quarter, where narrow cobblestone alleys lead to cultural treasures. The restored Ibn Danan Synagogue showcases intricate tilework and carved cedar ceilings, while the old Jewish cemetery tells silent stories of the past. Traditional riads with distinctive wrought-iron balconies and Star of David motifs create a unique architectural landscape. Family-run restaurants serve authentic Moroccan tagines and couscous throughout the day. This pedestrian-friendly area requires comfortable walking shoes for exploring the uneven terrain. Converted riads with central courtyards offer charming accommodation, placing you within a 15-minute walk of Fes el-Bali's main medina.
Admired for its rich culture and architecture, Fes features attractions such as Fes Stadium and Atlas Garden. Visitors highlight this historical city's gardens while sights include Borj Fez Mall and Royal Palace.
It's a very interesting place. I traveled alone, and there were clever youths that attempt to guide you towards places where they have relationships and earn commissions. They tell you lies like you're going in the wrong direction and will mislead.

Amazing to be in the middle of one of the oldest cities. Definitely arrange a guide to walk through to the souks, university, madrassas, and the tannery... even with the best sense of direction or google maps you would get lost on your own.

Fascinating old city. Delighted we spent time there. Special mention to Veggie Pause, a small restaurant near the hotel - its food was amazing. One thing about Fez - it would benefit from more cultural highlights, galleries and museums.

I loved being in Fes, though I wish the resources I found before the trip mentioned that the medina is 90% shut down on Fridays. It made for a very quiet meander through the mazes.

To experience Fez you need a guide to give you explanations of the history of the city and also to stop you from being lost in the narrow, chaotic alleyways.

"Small luxury hotel with beautifully decorated rooms and interior. Friendly staff and specially Zahra who made all arrangements for guides and chauffeur for us. I highly reccomend. "
"We were made to feel at home right away by an extremely friendly hotel staff. The hotel is well situated: close to shoping mall ,royal palace and Medina. Room was exactly like a normal 4 star hotel in France or Italy. Breakfast was excellent & reasonably priced with variety of western & local food available in buffet style layout + eggs & pancake cooked according to guests' tastes...Pool for kids and one for adults adjacent ( not huge but enough to have a good swim)In short; had good time, staff very friendly & hotel well situated in city. Would recommend a room facing boulevard or pool."
"We had a wonderful experience. Tariq was just incredible. He made sure that before leaving the Riyad that all our questions were addressed properly. Tariq was an absolute help during our stay. Thanks again and we will be back. "
"Amazing hotel great service, I was able to check in early. Room was clean, swimming pool was great and refreshing during the summer heat. Walkable to the train station. A bit noisy by the street windows weren’t sealed. But I would recommend and will book again when visiting Fes. Thanks"
