Fes el-Bali is the oldest and largest living medina in the world – nine thousand lanes, the Chouara tannery, the madrasas of Bou Inania and Al-Attarine and the Al Quaraouiyine university, founded in 859. It is easy to get lost here, and that is exactly why our guests explore it with a licensed local guide who knows the craftsmen by name.

The journeys below spend two nights in Fes in a restored riad, and most reach it through Roman Volubilis and imperial Meknes. Plan your visit with our guide to the best things to do in Fes.
