Fez, Morocco’s oldest imperial city, is the cradle of the nation’s religious, cultural, and intellectual heritage. Founded in the late 8th century by Idriss I, it was the first Islamic city established in the country and has since flourished as a center of scholarship and tradition.

The city boasts a remarkable collection of historical landmarks, including the opulent Royal Palace with its signature zellige-tiled façade, the ancient University and Mosque of Al Quaraouiyine—recognized as the world’s oldest continually operating university—the Jewish quarter (Mellah), and intricately designed madrasas showcasing extraordinary stucco craftsmanship.

Fez is also home to Morocco’s largest medina, a vast labyrinth of over 20 interconnected quarters and thousands of narrow alleys. Visitors can explore vibrant markets and artisanal workshops producing everything from handwoven textiles and fine leather goods to colorful ceramics and woodwork. Among the city’s most iconic sights are the traditional tanneries and the renowned ceramic workshops on its outskirts.

This tour offers the perfect opportunity to begin your journey through Morocco’s timeless beauty—starting in Fez and venturing deep into the Sahara, all while experiencing the country’s rich history, diverse landscapes, and warm hospitality.
