Planning a trip to Morocco? Wondering if Fes is worth visiting?
Let us guide you through one of Morocco’s most captivating cities—Fes, the cultural and spiritual heart of the country. At Hala Morocco Tours, we craft unforgettable experiences through Morocco’s imperial wonders, and Fes is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking authenticity, history, and charm.
Why Visit Fes, Morocco?
Fes is Morocco’s oldest imperial city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its ancient medina, traditional crafts, and intellectual heritage. Unlike the modern bustle of Casablanca or the tourist-packed streets of Marrakech, Fes offers a genuine Moroccan experience rooted in history and tradition.
Top Things to Do in Fes, Morocco:
1. Explore Fes el-Bali – The Old Medina:
Wander the largest car-free urban zone in the world. This historic medina is a maze of narrow streets, colorful souks, ancient mosques, and artisan workshops. It’s a must-see in Fes and a dream for photographers and explorers.
2. Visit Al Quaraouiyine University:
Recognized by UNESCO and Guinness World Records, this is the oldest university in the world, dating back to 859 AD. A symbol of Fes' reputation as an intellectual hub.
3. Marvel at Bou Inania Madrasa:
One of the most stunning examples of Moroccan Islamic architecture. This 14th-century madrasa features zellij tilework, cedarwood carvings, and peaceful inner courtyards.
4. Experience the Chouara Tannery:
One of the top tourist attractions in Fes, the tannery offers a bird’s-eye view of centuries-old leather tanning practices. It's a fascinating and colorful experience.
5. Admire the Royal Palace (Dar el-Makhzen):
While the palace itself is closed to the public, the impressive golden gates and the square surrounding it are perfect for photos and soaking in Fes’ royal history.
6. Relax in Jnan Sbil Gardens:
Need a break from the medina? This beautifully restored 18th-century garden is a tranquil oasis of fountains, palm trees, and shady pathways.
