Royal Palace of Fez - Royal Palace (Main Gate)
Envision arriving at the heart of Fez, where the majestic golden gates of the Royal Palace glisten under the Moroccan sun. These gates are more than mere entrances—they are masterpieces adorned with intricate designs, each detail narrating a story of centuries of skilled craftsmanship. Although the palace itself remains a royal residence inaccessible to the public, standing here, one can feel the heartbeat of Morocco’s royal history. The whispers of past sultans and the quiet grandeur that has safeguarded the city for generations can be sensed. It’s a moment to pause, capture in a photograph, and appreciate a living symbol of Fez’s majestic heritage. -
Mellah souk - Mellah (Jewish Quarter)
Venture into the winding streets of the Mellah, where every corner echoes the vibrant Jewish community that thrived here for centuries. The narrow alleys are lined with houses featuring distinctive balconies and carved wooden doors, each narrating a tale of tradition and resilience. An ancient synagogue might be spotted nestled between market stalls, or a modest shop offering delicate silver jewelry crafted by local artisans. As one explores, the fascinating cultural blend and shared history that shaped this quarter become evident—a place where faith, art, and daily life intertwined in the fabric of Fez. -
Borj Nord - Borj Nord (Northern Fortress)
Ascending to Borj Nord is akin to stepping back into a 16th-century fortress, standing tall over the city to defend it from invaders. Upon reaching the ramparts, a stunning panorama unfolds—rooftops of the Medina stretch endlessly, a maze of earth-toned buildings and bustling streets below. The fortress houses a small arms museum, offering a glimpse into Morocco’s martial past. Here, standing on the battlements, one can almost hear the clang of swords and the murmur of soldiers, while soaking in the breathtaking vista that only a place with centuries of history can offer. -
Marinid Tombs - Marinid Tombs
Perched high on a hill overlooking Fez, the Marinid Tombs invite a quiet moment of reflection and awe. These centuries-old mausoleums, resting places of a powerful dynasty, stand in graceful ruins surrounded by fragrant wild herbs and sweeping views. From here, one can gaze across the city’s rooftops, the minarets piercing the sky, and the winding rivers far below. It’s a serene spot where history meets nature—a place that whispers stories of rulers long gone and the enduring spirit of Fez. -
Borj Sud - Borj Sud (Southern Fortress)
Borj Sud offers a different perspective on Fez’s sprawling Medina, perched on the southern heights like a silent guardian. The climb here feels rewarding as one arrives at a peaceful terrace with sweeping views stretching in every direction. Unlike Borj Nord’s military might, Borj Sud’s charm lies in its quiet solitude and the opportunity to watch the city come alive from above. It’s the perfect spot to pause, breathe in the cool air, and imagine the daily lives of Fez’s residents framed by ancient walls and endless history. -
Art D’Argile - Pottery Square
Enter Pottery Square, a lively, colorful enclave where tradition dances in the hands of skilled artisans. The air is filled with the earthy scent of fresh clay and the rhythmic sound of spinning wheels. One can watch in fascination as potters mold wet clay into elegant bowls, plates, and tagines, their fingers moving deftly in a dance perfected over centuries. Around, vibrant zellige tiles—intricate mosaics of blues, greens, and reds—catch the sunlight, telling stories through geometric patterns. Don’t be surprised if an artisan invites participation in shaping a piece—a hands-on glimpse into a timeless craft that connects past and present. -
Jardin Jnan Sbil - Jnan Sbil Garden
Step through a hidden gate into Jnan Sbil Garden, a lush sanctuary amid the city’s historic bustle. Here, winding paths lead past orange trees heavy with fruit, beds bursting with vibrant flowers, and fountains that sparkle as they sing their gentle songs. The cool shade of towering palm trees offers refuge from the sun, inviting one to linger on a bench with a view of this tranquil paradise. As one walks, it becomes clear why this garden has long been a favorite retreat for locals and travelers alike—a living testament to nature’s quiet beauty and the peaceful heart of Fez. -
Tanneries De Fes - Chouara Tannery (Tanners’ Quarter)
Entering the Chouara Tannery is like stepping into a world frozen in time. Below, massive stone vats bubble with natural dyes—vivid reds, yellows, and blues—while workers stand waist-deep, their hands expertly massaging animal hides to soften and dye them. The scent is strong and unique, a raw reminder of an ancient craft that has shaped Fez’s identity for over a thousand years. From a high vantage point, one can watch the mesmerizing cycle of leather-making unfold: the washing, dyeing, drying. It’s a sensory journey through tradition, craftsmanship, and the vibrant life of Fez’s artisan soul.
