Practical information for your trip
Fès is located in northern Morocco, inland.
The city lies between the Rif Mountains in the north and the Middle Atlas Mountains in the south and is considered the cultural and religious center of the country.
Fès is a lively city steeped in tradition, best explored at a leisurely pace and with an open mind. The medina of Fès el-Bali is like a labyrinth – an offline map or local assistance will help you find your way around. It is important to be friendly and respectful, and to dress appropriately, especially in religious areas. Bargaining is part of shopping in the souks, but should always remain fair and relaxed.
To see the city and its many facets at a leisurely pace, it is best to plan for 3 days.
