Why this trip
Ten thousand lanes, no cars: the medina of Fez is among the largest car-free old towns in the world, and anyone who explores it walks a lot, often uphill and downhill, with orientation always in demand. The Al-Attarine Madrasa shows fine craftsmanship, the Jnan Sbil Garden offers calm after the labyrinth of lanes. If you seek more nature, travel to the Ouzoud waterfalls, which can be reached as a day tour and offer paths by the water. Chefchaouen with its hiking routes in the Rif lies as a neighbour closer to the coast, Marrakech and Casablanca are among the further destinations.
If you are out and about in the medina, it is best to wear comfortable shoes with a good sole, because the lanes are uneven and wet. A guide eases orientation and leads to workshops where tanners, weavers and coppersmiths still work by hand. Cash is important here. From October to April the temperatures are pleasant, in summer it gets hot in the lanes.
Plan Fez as a city stage with two nights, with cash and covered clothing. How you weight medina, nature and onward travel is something you discuss in the video call.
