Fes & Meknes tours Fes & Meknes activities BOOKING


Fes is home to one of the oldest operating universities in the world, the University of Al-Karaouine which was founded in 859 AD. As Morocco's spiritual capital; its mosques and medersas have for long attracted students from across the Islamic world. The Karaouine Mosque, built in the 9th century is one of Africa's oldest and largest mosques. The 9th century Andalusia mosque, embellished by successive rulers, has a huge, awe-inspiring sculpted cedar door. The imposing Rsif Mosque minaret, decorated with green faiences is a city landmark and an essential stop on a tour in Fes. Non- Muslims are not allowed inside mosques but medersas are open to all.

Leather making is an ancient craft; even today, the soft leather is in great demand. The odour emanating from the many tanneries permeates the air in several areas and is intrinsic to the character of the city, just like the shadowy alleys, the donkeys, and mint tea. Traditional guilds preserve and promote local crafts, ensuring that standards do not drop. Visit the El-Attarine souk to watch artisans at work.

Everything in Fes is not traditional; it also has a modern face in Ville Nouvelle or ‘new city'. Built in the early 20th century by the French, whose influence is quite apparent, this part of Fes is a busy commercial centre with wide streets lined with glitzy shops, Fes hotels and other establishments. If you'd rather stay in a modern hotel in Fes, this is where you'll find one.

The period between September and November or April and June is ideal for a visit to Fes and Meknes, when the weather is pleasant and tourists are fewer. If you plan a trip in June, you can catch the renowned Fes Festival of World Sacred Music.


The medieval cities of Fes and Meknes are fascinating places to explore on a Fes and Meknes tour, as both offer a number of interesting tourist attractions. Full of sights, sounds and smells, exploring the souks, medersas, mosques and palaces of these ancient cities is a wonderful experience. Check out our range of Fes and Meknes tours below or contact us for more information.

Fes showcase stunning architectural traditions and there is a lot to see, do and experience in Fes. Being a car-free zone (the streets are much too narrow to accommodate big vehicles, in any case) the only modes of transport inside the medina are motorcycles, donkeys and carts. A walk or Fes tour through this maze, teeming with haggling shoppers, artisans, merchants, tribesmen, deliverymen, laden donkeys and carts is the best way to soak in the vibrant ethos of the Moroccean city.

Fes has three sections - Fes el-Bali (the old city), Fes Jdid (new Fes, created in the 14th century!) and Ville Nouvelle (the most modern, French built section). Of the three it is the medina (typical Arab walled city with narrow streets) of Fes el-Bali that is the most fascinating, though Fes Jdid with its royal palace and the Mellah or old Jewish quarter come a close second.

Staying in the heart of the medina, in a Fes riad (old, renovated homes with courtyards, turned into Fes hotels) is another way to closely observe the city and its culture. Many riads in Fes offer lovely views of the medina from their rooftops, especially after dark.


Listed below are our best priced and most interesting Meknes and Fes riads and hotels for travellers seeking a place to stay in Fes and Meknes. Riads, which are distinctly Moroccan, are old, renovated mansions with courtyards, turned into hotels. In Fes and Meknes, riads offer excellent value, and a luxurious place to stay. Let us help you find a great place to stay for your Fes and Meknes holiday!

We also offer a number of Fes and Meknes tours to explore and experience the many flavours of Fes and Meknes! Just visit our Fes & Meknes booking portal and let the adventure begin!

Fes is one of the largest and best preserved medieval cities anywhere in the world. It has been continuously inhabited from the 10th century onwards, and still bustles with shops, restaurants, Fes riads and hotels, mosques, medersas (religious schools) and tanneries. The city is made up of innumerable narrow labyrinthine streets; one can easily get lost without a Fes map or a guide. Meknes is an impressive city in its own right. Farming, metalwork, palm-oil refining, carpet and wool-making are some of its industries. The Sultan's palace is here, as well as good value riads and Meknes hotels. Meknes' architectural splendour has led to its being called a Moroccan Versailles.

The sights, sounds and smells of the city can often overwhelm first time visitors. It takes time to genuinely come to know this rare gem of Spanish-Arabic civilisation - don't rush it!

Fes, the oldest of Morocco's "imperial cities", is, steeped in mysticism, and noted as a great centre of Islamic culture and learning. It was founded in 789 AD by Idris I, (founder of the Idrisid dynasty), who traced the outlines of the city with a silver-gold pickaxe - "fas", in Arabic, from which Fes derives its name. Located towards the eastern end of the Saiss plain, the city is bordered by the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and the historic city of Meknes.

Budva's urban landscape developed in the 15th century. However, a massive earthquake almost flattened the city in 1667, which is why most of the buildings in Old Town bear 1667 as their year of establishment. The city was brought back to its original shape but as luck would have it, another major quake in 1979 practically destroyed the city once again. It took eight years after this to restore Old Town to its former state. Today, Budva has a lively nightlife, numerous adventure Budva tours and many wonderful beaches. These beaches are very popular among the young crowd, who not only enjoy a swim in the warm waters, but also the regular beach parties near to popular bars, nightclubs and restaurants in Budva.

Budva does not have a very well-planned layout; the streets and alleys are laid out in quite a haphazard manner. While walking through the city streets, either on a Budva tour or from your Budva hotel, you can catch a spectacular view of the Montenegrin mountains behind the buildings. The Old Town streets can sometimes lead you to cul-de-sacs, or you may even find yourself going round in circles! Thankfully your transportation options in Budva are many and varied, not to mention cheap, so you can quickly get yourself out of a bind. You can use our Budva map to choose your hotel in Budva based on its location, and its proximity to the many Budva highlights you may wish to see.

There is a lot to see and do in Budva including the ramparts built in the 15th century surrounding the Old Town. Tall walls, towers and city gates were built to fortify the city and all of it is still standing. The walls reach the edge of the sea. In fact, a walk around the walls is one of the popular Budva tours. It can be completed in about 15 to 20 minutes and offers splendid views of the beaches, the citadel and the town and offers some great spots to enjoy lunch. Visitors can enjoy the galleries, monasteries, cafés, restaurants and shops, all located close to the walls of the Budva Old Town. If you would rather your hotel in Budva to be away from the commercial attractions, you could just sit on the wall and gaze at the island of Sveti Nikola, a simple yet agreeable experience.

A Greek sailor named Boutoua is believed to have discovered Budva and its Old Town. There are many stories about the latter's origin. Historians and scholars are of the belief that Old Town was originally an island, which later joined the mainland through a sandy isthmus. Eventually, it was the Roman Empire that controlled the Montenegrin coast for a long time and its influence is clearly visible all over Budva, especially in the Budva Old Town and many of the historic hotels in Budva.
