Description

At the indicated time we'll meet at the main entrance to the Lycée Moulay Idriss. There we'll start this panoramic tour of Fez that will take us to see its most important attractions at dusk.

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

We'll continue the panoramic tour to the Medina and get off again to visit its main attractions. We'll pass by the Royal Palace of Fez, one of the largest and oldest in Morocco, and discuss legends related to this luxurious building.
