Today’s excursion will begin when we pick you up in the morning at your accommodation in Meknes.

Then we will drive to the heart of Moroccan civilization, Fez.

We will begin at the Seven Golden Doors, a magnificent set of ornate gates that mark the entrance to the Royal Palace. From there, you’ll stroll through the Jewish Quarter (Mellah), offering a glimpse into Morocco’s rich Jewish heritage and history. 

Next, head to a panoramic viewpoint where you can take in a breathtaking view of Fez, with its sprawling medina below, surrounded by mountains. 

Then we’ll visit the Ceramics area, renowned for its stunning pottery and traditional craftsmanship.

Finally, we’ll return to explore Fez’s ancient medina, the biggest urban car-free zone in the world. Fez, a UNESCO sight, is a massive labyrinth of dusty alleys, sumptuous houses and palaces, hectic markets, and innumerable stories.

The joy of visiting Fez consists largely in simply meandering through this medieval urban maze.

Among the many things we’ll discover are the recently restored leather tanneries, the Foundouk Nejjarine woodworking museum, the Dar el-Magana water clock, the hilltop Merenid Tombs, the serene Bou Inania Koranic school, the Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum, and the Karaouiyne University (the oldest university in the world), just to name a few!

Following our visit of Fez, we will take the highway to get you back to Meknes before dinnertime.
