Best Free Tours in Fes
Fes might not be the political capital of Morocco anymore, but it’s still the spiritual and cultural core of the country. The heart of Fes, the 1,200-year-old Medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, also, a car-free pedestrian zone. That’s why joining Free Walking Tours in Fes is the only way to discover both the main landmarks and also secret shops and passages that you will never find on your own... even with Google Maps! The Essential Free Tour of Fes is an unforgettable walk with a local guide along the many secret passages of the Medina. Apart from discovering the main monuments, guests will learn about Islam, the history of Fes, local customs, handicrafts and food. For guests who want some help haggling with vendors and choosing the best products around the thousands of shops in the medina, there are Free Shopping Tours in Fes available.
Highlights of a Free Tour in Fes
Book your Free Tour in Fes and get ready to discover why the old fortified Medina is usually described as “the biggest labyrinth” in the world. Joining a Fes Free Walking Tour means visiting palaces, fountains, mosques and mansions, but also crossing tiny alleyways and markets full of bakeries, baths, shocking colors, exotic spices and food stalls. Your reliable local guide will take you on a tour that will cover highlights such as Bab Bou Jeloud (the ornate and beautiful City Gate), Bou Inania Madrasa, Funduq al-Najjarin historic caravanserai, Karaouine Mosque (the second biggest in the country), the fortress of Borj Nord, the Royal Palace, Dar Batha Park, and many more wonderful places. One of the highlights of the tour will be Chouara Tannery, a very surprising square where tourists can witness how skins are cleaned and then soaked in natural tints to produce stunning leather products.
Things to Do in Fes
Less touristy and less stressful than Marrakech, Fes is slowly becoming a hot destination for those who want to experience the most authentic Moroccan culture without the masses. There are many things to do and activities to join, but most tourists spend at least one day exploring the many artisan shops inside the medina with a Fes City Tour. Do not hesitate to hire a guide, even locals get lost in this massive labyrinth! Fes also has wonderful restaurants and tea parlors, and it’s well connected to other interesting destinations. The holy town of Moulay Idriss, the Imperial city of Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis are popular day trips from Fes. Further away, the town of Chefchaouen is an interesting destination. Finally, do not miss the opportunity to stay on a historical riad during your trip to Fes! These rectangular traditional houses built around an idyllic courtyard will transport you to the old Imperial Morocco.
