The city has also been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.  All of this, combined with its indulgent architectural beauty, history, and artisanal traditions, makes it a great starting point for your great Moroccan adventure!

At Morocco Meta Adventures, we offer guided city experiences into the untrodden paths of the city. Throughout the trip, you will witness the city’s beautiful history through the narrow alleys, historic gates, traditional souks, and artisan workshops of Fes el-Bali. Visit the Tanneries of Chouara to see ancient leather-dyeing techniques, get a tour of the Royal Palace Gate and the ramparts offering panoramic views of the city, explore the Jewish Quarter (Mellah), and the Ibn Danan Synagogue.

Along the Fes city tours, you will also get to experience and learn about the Fes pottery, woodcarving, and other crafts from local artisans, and get a taste of local cuisine from street vendors to riads and restaurants. Make sure you try the special mint tea served here. As the trip comes to an end, you can close it with a cultural performance, traditional music, and dinner in a restored riad to get the complete Fes experience!
