If you only have one day in Fes, of course, you want to make the most out of it. Let Oubadi Travel guide you to some of the highlights of this city. This single-day trip in Fes is a real adventure in the largest and the best ancient, Fes is a UNESCO world heritage site and is also considered one of the most spiritual and religious cities in Morocco. It has stood at the heart of Moroccan civilization for over five centuries and was a major cultural and intellectual center, competing with those of Europe.
Your hotel /Riad in Fes
9 AM
This is your opportunity to see the UNESCO protected Fez Medina through the eyes of a local, with your own private guide that will accompany you throughout the entire tour. You will be picked up at 9 AM from your centrally located hotel/Riad in Fez in an air-conditioned vehicle.
â—‹ You’ll begin at the royal palace, with its seven golden doors, and learn about the significance of the intricate decor.
â—‹ Stroll through the Mellah, or Jewish quarter, which was built next to the palace to offer protection.
â—‹ Take in the view of the city from Borj Sud, a former fortress and one of the lookouts on a hill where you can see all of Fes laid out, allowing you to spot landmarks otherwise hidden by the skyline-obscuring buildings.
â—‹ Visit a pottery co-op to see how they make the unique Fes pottery, as well as handcrafting the intricate mosaics adorning half of Morocco.
The tour breaks for lunch at a typical Moroccan restaurant in the Medina with its marvelous designs that ooze with Moroccan traditional cuisine so you’ll get to experience the culture and the people that make this place so special.
The sightseeing tour is not over yet as we will head to your most vivid memory of the trip:
â—‹ We’ll head into the ancient medina and step into a sort of living museum. The Fes medina is very much a local community that lives and works and goes about daily life in the medina, so be sure to keep moving and watch out for the donkeys!
â—‹ Stop by the Al-Quaraouiyine University, the oldest degree-granting university still in operation, having been founded in 859CE by a woman.
â—‹ Visit handicraft workshops, where you will see why Fes is considered the handicraft capital of Morocco. This can include, among other things, the silk weavers, where beautifully colorful fabrics are woven from silk fibers of the agave plant; and the famous Fes tannery, where they process all manner of animal hides by hand, much as they have for nearly 1,000 years.
In the late afternoon, we will drop you off at your accommodation as your single day trip at Fes will be coming to an end.
We truly hope that you enjoyed your journey with our team!Â
