Fez

Climate, Things to Do & See

Fes is one of Morocco’s most historic and culturally important cities. Famous for its medieval Medina, traditional crafts, Islamic architecture, and centuries-old heritage, Fes offers a more traditional Moroccan experience than Casablanca or Tangier.
Fes is particularly suited to travelers interested in history, architecture, food, culture, traditional crafts, and authentic Moroccan heritage. The Medina is the main attraction, and simply walking through its streets can feel like stepping back several centuries.If Casablanca is Morocco’s modern economic center and Tangier is its cosmopolitan coastal gateway, Fes is the heart of traditional Moroccan culture and history.
