Your driver/guide collects you from your hotel or riad. If your accommodation is inside the medina, pick-up will be at the nearest gate. Get a short introduction to the tour before heading toward the first landmark.

Marvel at the majestic golden bronze doors of the Royal Palace, framed with intricate zellij tilework and carved cedar wood. Though the palace itself is closed to the public, the gates are one of the most photographed sites in Fes. Your guide will share insights about the Alaouite dynasty and the palace’s role in Moroccan history.

Continue to the historic Jewish Quarter, distinguished by its unique balconies and architecture. Learn about the Jewish community that once flourished here and how their culture shaped Fes. This stop offers a different perspective compared to the traditional medina.

Pause at the iconic Blue Gate, the main entrance to the old medina. Its two sides—blue on one and green on the other—symbolize Fes’ traditions. Here, you’ll have time to take photos and hear about the gate’s importance as a meeting point between locals and travelers.

Head uphill to Borj Nord, a 16th-century fortress built by the Saadian dynasty. Today, it offers some of the most impressive panoramic views of the medina and surrounding hills. Enjoy time for photos and learn how the fort once defended the city from invasions.

Cross the city to Borj Sud, another hilltop fortress offering a different vantage point, especially beautiful in the late afternoon light. On the way, follow stretches of the ramparts that once protected Fes, stopping at scenic points along the walls for photographs.
