Best Fez Tours from Marrakesh

Known as "the Mecca of the West" and "the Athens of Africa," this bustling North African city features the best preserved old city (medina) in the Arab world. The minarets of the city's numerous madrasas rise majestically into the sky. Visit the Merenid Tombs for excellent views of Morocco’s second-largest city and the olive tree-lined hills surrounding it. Fez's walled medina is particularly tantalizing, featuring a maze of streets, corridors, stalls, shops and markets completely closed to automobile traffic. To visit is to receive a crash course in the culture of Fez.
