Fes Day Tours, with a local

Fes is the holiest city in the Islamic world after Mecca and Medina. Founded at the beginning of the 9th century by Moulay Idriss II. Fes, the best surviving example of an ancient Arab city, is comprised of the "new" city, established in the 12th century, and the 2,000-year-old medina, where donkeys and mules compete alongside buyers through the ancient market, itself a fascinating maze of lanes, blind alleys and bustling souqs assaulting the senses with spices and exotic delicacies. Fes is the perfect place to hone your bargaining skills in buying souvenirs, brightly colored hand-loomed carpets or fine handicrafts. Visit the famous leather tanneries, a honeycomb of vats erupting in an explosion of brilliant color. Then, climb to the venerated Merenid Tombs for a breathtaking panoramic view of Fes and finish the day enjoying a cup of tea at one of the local hidden treasure cafes.
