Things to do when you get to Fez

Upon your arrival in Fez, you will be surrounded by mountainous beauty that boasts a range of fascinating historical and cultural attractions.

Navigate the Medina

For starters, the Fez Medina is both the oldest and largest of its kind in North Africa and it also happens to be the world’s largest vehicle-free urban center. Once inside the incredibly well-preserved Medina, it is easy to appreciate its history as you navigate through the narrow 9th-century streets and observe the intricate tile work, stained glass, and carved architectural features.

When is the best time to visit Fez?

As you prepare for your trip from Casablanca to Fez, you should be advised that some seasons offer more enjoyable weather and fewer crowds. The spring and autumn seasons are the most popular because they provide milder temperatures and tend to be drier than the summer in Fez - but keep in mind that this is when tourism will reach its peak.

To avoid the biggest crowds and get the best deals on Medina-central accommodation, consider coming in late February or early December, right as the weather begins to shift. You will still avoid the worst of the rain and heat and can sometimes grab great deals on flights and tours.
