Exploring Fes
You’ll notice that our short Tours from Fes don’t include time exploring Fes itself. That’s because these popular short tours focus on travelling away from Fes to the Sahara Desert. If you want to explore Fes, then you’ll need a bit more time. That’s why the 7 day Morocco itinerary, “Walled Cities & Wide-Open Spaces” mentioned above is such a great option – because it includes time exploring not only Fes but Marrakesh as well.
Many people opt to explore Fes on their own. And that’s totally fine! Fes is an incredible city to visit. The old medina dates from the Middle Ages. Some areas, such as the Fes tanneries, still function like medieval communities even now! We highly recommend that you explore Fes during your Moroccan vacation. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
