Fes Holidays

Situated amongst rolling hills, the layered houses of Fes have marked the Moroccan landscape for over a thousand years. Almost from the outset there has been a strong link with Islam – Fes is centred on the Qaraouiyine mosque – and even today this fascinating and colourful city is still considered the spiritual capital of the country. The old city is a delight – a medieval labyrinth of historic buildings, ancient tanneries and an intricate network of narrow lanes and souks impassable to all but the donkey. Protected by UNESCO, explore this atmospheric walled city. Highlights include the Borj Sud for a view of the medina, the beautiful Attarin Merdersa, the 9th century Qaraouiyine Mosque and 14th century Royal Palace. It is also possible to visit the Roman remains at nearby Volubilis on a day visit from Fes. All of our holidays and tours to Morocco are unique and fully personalised.
