This blog is for a tour that takes you through an exciting 6 days in Fes, one of the major cities in Morocco. This trip is full of rich history, great cultures, and beautiful sights. Let us begin!
Day 1: Arrive in Fes – Welcome to the Blue City!
On arrival in Fes, it may seem as if you had stepped into another dimension: with narrow streets, reflected old buildings, and an unbelievably alluring smell of spices in the air. A friendly guide recommended by the Morocco Tourism Agency would now be at your disposal.
Once you have checked into your hotel, you can take some time to relax. We will take a gentle walk in the evening to the old city, known as the Fes Medina. This very historic area is filled with many beautiful buildings. The evening air is perfect for exploring the local markets, where you will meet colorful rugs, pottery, and spices.
Day 2: Exploring the Fes Medina
After breakfast, we will start the day with an interesting tour of the Fes Medina. It is one of the largest old cities in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you truly feel that you are walking through history.
Our guide will take you through the famous Bab Boujloud gate from where we proceed to visit the Al-Qarawiyyin University, which is among the oldest in the world. You will also get to see the Tanneries- large open-air spaces in which hides are dyed in colorful pools. While it has a pungent smell, the sight is absolutely amazing.
We will end the day with a visit to the Bou Inania Madrasa, a school that is famous for its beautiful tiles and carvings. You’ll have plenty of time to take pictures and learn about the city’s rich history.
Day 3: Royal Palace and Jewish Quarter
Day three will take us into more corners of Fes. We will start with a visit to the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is not open to the public, but you can take a look at its beautiful golden gates and its amazing architecture from the outside. Next, we will take you to the Jewish Quarter, or Mellah. This is where, long ago, Jewish families got settled in Fes. You’ll see old houses, small shops, and beautiful synagogues.
Later, we’ll visit the Jnan Sbil Gardens, a haven for relaxation. The gardens are a sea of flowers, fountains, and tall trees. Perfect for a breather in the fresh air with lovely scenery.
Day 4: Day Trip to Middle Atlas Mountains
In nature today! A day trip to the Middle Atlas Mountains will take us after breakfast. Created from beautiful green hills and forests, the course shall pass through tiny villages, and the mountains are a lovely place to hike or loved sitting to gaze at the grand scenery.
An Ifrane village will be penned along with the passage. It is a smaller Swiss town and fondly called as “The Switzerland of Morocco.” You can walk around and see the famous stone lion statue. Following Ifrane, we shall go visit the Dayet Aoua Lake, where you can chill by the cool lake. The lake itself is surrounded by trees and is home to quite a bit of wildlife.
Day 5: Fes to Meknes and Volubilis
On the fifth day, after breakfast, we will set off to explore Meknes: an exciting day trip to a city a little more than an hour away from Fes. Meknes is a fine city where you could spend the whole day wandering through beautiful old buildings with interesting history. You will visit Bab Mansour Gate, arguably the most celebrated gate in Morocco, before going on to see the Heri es-Souani granary where grains were stored centuries back.
Once we finish with Meknes, we will be heading toward Volubilis, an old Roman city. It is loaded with old ruins that include, among other things, large houses, columns, and astonishing mosaics. It is as if we are stepping into the Roman centuries! Here you will learn of the Roman Empire and what their lives were like in Morocco.
Day 6 : Souks, Shopping, and Departure
On the final day of departure, we shall take you to the souks-the hustle and bustle markets of Fes. This is a great chance to buy souvenirs such as spices, jewelry, and handmade crafts. You will have time to stroll around and bargain for the best prices.
Before leaving for the trip, some free time will be available to discover Fes at leisure; you may try out some local cuisine like couscous, tagine, or sweet pastilla pie. Your guide will provide some recommendations concerning where to dine and shop.
Then it will be time to say goodbye to Fes at the end of the day. Our guide will ensure that you are safely delivered to the airport and assisted with check-in for your flight back home. This journey through Fes will give you memories to last a lifetime.
