Why this trip

In Fès there is hardly a straight line. The medina of Fès el-Bali is a labyrinth of thousands of lanes, one of the oldest universities in the world is here, and the tanners still work in the open air. If you want to combine an occasion with culture, you will find in Fès the historic counterpoint to Marrakesh. The medina takes a whole day, best with a guide so that you do not get lost.

The Jnan Sbil is a quiet garden on the edge of the old town, and the Ouzoud Falls are among the excursions that you make with a driver. As accommodation the catalogue names the Hotel Sahrai Small Luxury Hotel, with a view over the roofs of the city. The travel season is from October to April, and the flight time to Morocco is approx. 3.5 hrs.

Marrakesh and Chefchaouen are the neighbours on the route, and Fès fits well in the middle. If you have only two nights, you should not fill the day with the medina with excursions. Small shops and cafés often take cash only. You discuss the order first in the video call, and the accommodation follows afterwards.
