Where To Begin

Fes tours to build your trip from

From a 3-day escape north to a fuller desert crossing, every route here is a starting point. We rebuild it around your dates.

Quick Answer

Our luxury Morocco Fes tours are private, tailor-made trips. Ismail and Mustapha organize them, and their team of local guides leads each one. Transport is by Mercedes Vito minivan or Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4. Many travelers travel to the Sahara Desert from Fes, crossing the Middle Atlas toward Merzouga. Others prefer multi-day adventures departing from Fes that stay closer, reaching Chefchaouen and the north instead.

Fes el-Bali. The historic medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s largest car-free urban areas.

The tanneries. Centuries-old leather vats, still worked by hand, and one of the most photographed sights in Morocco.

Sahara desert tours. Merzouga’s dunes lie a comfortable day’s drive across the Middle Atlas.

Volubilis & Meknes. Roman ruins and the Merinid imperial city, both a short drive from Fes.

Why Fes

Morocco’s oldest imperial city

Fes is Morocco’s oldest imperial city. It sits between the fertile Saïs plains and the green forests of the Middle Atlas. Many consider it the country’s spiritual and religious capital.

The city has three distinct areas. Fes el-Bali is the historic heart, dense with souks and workshops. Fes el-Jedid, the Merinid imperial city, sits alongside it. Modern districts built during the Protectorate era lie further south.

Walking the medina reveals mosques, a renowned madrasa, and the tanneries most visitors come to see. A local guide makes the difference here. The lanes are famously easy to get lost in without one.

From Fes, routes continue toward Chefchaouen and Tangier in the north, or across the Middle Atlas to the Sahara. Nomadic Berber communities still live in these desert regions today.

How You Travel

The right vehicle for the road ahead

Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4

Local, Multilingual Guides

Essential in the medina’s narrow lanes, and just as valuable out on the open road.

A Schedule Built Around You
