Luxury Fes Holidays

The most complete medieval Arab city in the world, Fes is also the most ancient of all the Imperial cities. In total contrast to Casablanca or Rabat, it is a living medieval metropolis where only electric light makes the souks, alleys and cobbled streets of the old town any different from the way they were in the Middle Ages. With our years of experience and specialisation in holidays to Morocco, we can recommend the very best tours, sights and luxury hotels in Fes for the perfect trip to this unforgettable city.

Tours Of Fes

The winding streets of the medina are a labyrinth to those who are not used to them, and we recommend taking a guided tour to see everything the city has to offer as part of your holiday in Fes. We can arrange full and half day tours of the cultural sights and craft workshops of Fes, and can also arrange tours to nearby highlights outside the city, such as UNESCO World Heritage sites of Meknes and Volubilis.

 

Shopping In Fes

Fes is the nation’s centre for art and crafts. Many of the products and souvenirs sold throughout Morocco have their origins in the workshops of Fes, and – as you come prepared to haggle – it is the best place to buy souvenirs in the country. On a holiday to Fes you also have the unmissable chance to see the traditional craftsmen in their one room workshops, from carpet weavers and metal workers to tanners and glass blowers.
