Fez Day Tour with Optional Experiences
Spend a day in Fez, a city where long-standing customs meet present-day life. Begin in Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO-listed area known for its narrow lanes and traditional buildings. Here, craftsmanship is part of daily surroundings. Visit the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and the Bou Inania Madrasa to see detailed work that reflects the skills passed down over generations. Walk through the city’s tanneries, where leather is still prepared using traditional methods. Then head to the Ville Nouvelle, a neighborhood shaped during the French period, offering a contrast in style and layout. Take a quiet break at Jardin Jnan Sbil, a public garden with shaded paths and fountains. Nearby, the Borj Nord Museum offers information about Fez’s past through displays of local items and stories. If you’d like a more hands-on activity, consider a Moroccan cooking class where local chefs guide you through the preparation of everyday meals. You’ll work with ingredients common in local kitchens and finish by sharing what you’ve made. Another option is a visit to a hammam for a traditional steam and scrub treatment, followed by a short massage. It’s a simple way to relax and slow down during your time in the city.
