Day 5 Fes
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Fes

Visiting Fes is nothing short of travelling to the past. The mighty city walls, maze-like Medina and a well-preserved Old City has made Fes one of the favorite tourist destination in Morocco. Walking through the convoluted alleyways of the Medina is like travelling to the Middle Ages. The French have preserved this site due to its historical importance. However, this preservation is also responsible for its decline, as the financial and government centers were built at other places in the country. Most of the Jews migrated from this city in 1956, and the empty spaces were filled by many rural poor who wanted to handle the city. As a result, the ancient center of learning is not at all what it used to be. But, it is still a wonderful living museum where you’d love getting lost. Local guides will walk you through the magical Medina, which is still a living monument of an ancient past and has many tanneries, markets, craftsmen, mosques, and ceramics. When you are here, don’t forget to visit Medersa Bou Inania, which is the city’s most beautiful building, and has been recently restored and opened for the visitors. Here, we’ll also visit the tannery which is very famous for the iconic view that overlooks a ceramic factory, dye pits, and potters working in their traditional way. Famous Moroccan cuisines like Harira (chicken soup) and chicken-stuffed pastille with couscous can also be enjoyed here.
