Fez, Morocco's ancient capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a captivating city that blends rich history with vibrant culture, offering visitors a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and scents in its labyrinthine Medina. Whether you’re after a budget-friendly stay or a luxurious escape, Fez offers a wide range of hotels. For a cultural experience, choose a design-focused riad in the bustling old town. Families can opt for spacious hotels near the Bab Boujloud area, while luxury seekers should head to the quieter, upscale districts. No matter your preference, Fez has the perfect hotel to suit your needs.
Fès el-Bali, the ancient, car-free heart of Fez, is a must-visit for those drawn to the city's vibrant souqs, where everything is transported by donkeys and handcarts. Despite the chaos of colours, smells, and sounds, getting lost is hard with its many gates, and the experience of haggling with spirited vendors is part of the fun. Don't miss the fascinating tanneries and dyeing pits, or take a moment of peace in the shaded madrases.
Fez also boasts stunning Arabic architecture, including the Bou Inania madrasa, a 14th-century religious college. For a beautiful view of the medina, either hike the surrounding hills or enjoy the panorama from the Sofitel Palais Jamai.
Just remember that this is a destination which is growing in popularity, so if you want to book one of the best places to stay in Fez during the busy holiday periods, you'll need to get organised and plan well ahead. Otherwise book your trip off season, you'll find the medina much more manageable!
