One programme. Every useful detail.
A full walking day through medina architecture, workshops and the city’s living craft traditions.
This is a proposed programme, not confirmed inventory. Route timings, prices and inclusions need provider approval before booking opens.
Discover more than the route.
The city’s origins lie in Idrisid settlements between the late eighth and early ninth centuries. Marinid rulers later added monuments and Fes Jedid. UNESCO recognises a historic urban fabric where architecture and traditional skills still connect with everyday life.
Bab Boujloud & medina

Architecture & learning
Look for courtyards, fountains and carved decoration; confirm access to madrasas and religious sites.
