Day 4: Fes guided tour
On the fourth day of our Casablanca 9-day desert tour, you will explore Fes with a local guide. Fes is the oldest of the imperial cities in Morocco and home to the world’s first university. In fact, it dates back to the 9th century, and is one of the most complete medieval cities in the world. It appears to be stuck in a time warp, somewhere between the Middle Ages and the current era, surrounded by massive defensive walls.
In the old Medina, you will have a local guide who will take you to the famous tanneries and the Karaouine mosque. Following lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant in Medina, you’ll visit the Merinid tombs and enjoy a panoramic view of the city. Spend the night in a hotel or riad.
