Fes

Step back in time with our private tours to Fes, the cultural and spiritual soul of Morocco. Home to the world’s oldest continuously operating university and a UNESCO-listed Medina that remains the largest car-free urban space on earth, Fes is a sensory journey like no other. Our expert-led excursions take you through the labyrinthine alleys of Fes el-Bali, where the air is filled with the scent of cedarwood, spices, and the rhythmic sound of copper beaters. From the intricate zellij tilework of the Bou Inania Madrasa to the iconic blue gates of Bab Boujloud, we bring the rich history of the Idrisid dynasty to life.

A visit to Fes is incomplete without witnessing its world-famous tanneries. From our exclusive panoramic viewpoints, you can watch the traditional process of leather dyeing that has remained unchanged for centuries. Beyond the artisan workshops, our tours explore the elegant Jewish Quarter (Mellah) and the golden doors of the Royal Palace. Whether you are a history buff, a photography enthusiast, or a foodie looking to sample authentic Fassi cuisine—known as the most refined in the Kingdom—Morocco Desert Trips ensures an immersive experience that captures the true essence of this imperial city.

Fes also serves as the perfect gateway for our signature Desert Tours from Fes to the Sahara. After exploring the scholarly heritage of the city, we whisk you away toward the Middle Atlas mountains, stopping at the cedar forests of Azrou and the alpine town of Ifrane before reaching the towering dunes of Merzouga. With our professional multi-lingual guides and luxury 4×4 vehicles, your journey from the medieval streets of Fes to the silent sands of the desert is seamless, comfortable, and deeply rewarding.
