Fez is Morocco’s oldest imperial city, with the vast medieval medina of Fes el-Bali, tanneries, madrasas and souks. Traditional riads inside the medina offer atmospheric stays at many price points, while the modern Ville Nouvelle has cheaper city hotels.

Spring and autumn are ideal. Summer is very hot, and winter nights are cold; Ramadan dates affect opening hours.
The Ville Nouvelle has cheaper city hotels, and many small riads in the medina are also good value.
The lanes are confusing, so ask your riad to meet you at the nearest gate or arrange a transfer.
Fez has an airport and is linked by train with Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech.
