Fez Sunset Tour

On this panoramic sunset tour, we'll visit Fez at the best time of day to explore the city's main attractions as the sun sets.

Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at the main entrance to the Lycee Moulay Idriss. We will start this panoramic tour of Fez to see its most important attractions at dusk.

Our first stop will be at the Bab Bou Jeloud Gate, the famous blue gate of Fez and the main access to the Medina.

Next, we will continue the panoramic tour to the Medina, where we will visit its main attractions. We will pass by the Royal Palace of Fez, one of the largest and oldest in Morocco, and discuss its legends.

The following stop will be the Mellah, the Jewish quarter of Fez, named after the Arabic word for 'salt'. We will discuss the Jewish community as we walk through its narrow streets and past the former luxurious cloth markets.

We will then head to Borj Sud to enjoy one of the best views of Fez with the sunset in the background, followed by a visit to the potters' quarter to see traditional Moroccan pottery making. We will also explain why Fez had one of the first sewage systems in the world in the 10th century.

After an hour and a half of sightseeing, we'll end the tour back at the Bab Bou Jeloud Gate, the main entrance to the Medina of Fez.
