The Ultimate Guide to Fes in Morocco, Fes, Morocco

When you land into Fes, you'll quickly discover that it's one of the most rambunctious cities that you can visit in Morocco! It's a labyrinth of medinas, colours, mosques, madrassa's, tagine and beautiful chaos around every corner. You will really enjoy getting lost and discovering it's hidden secrets.

With 9,000 streets in the Medina alone, it can be like working out a puzzle. Although I'd been to Marrakesh, Fes was more of a deeper experience into exploring Moroccan culture. I would see beautiful leather shoes one minute, then a goats head on a spike the next. It wasn't as glamorous, but it was richer in so many ways.

If you're flying internationally into Morocco, Fes has it's own airport 'Fes Saiss' which has just had a bit of a make over. There are regular, daily flights to Fes from London through the likes of Ryanair and Air Arabia Maroc which I flew with.

The airport is located around 17km out of the city, so you will have to organise a taxi or a pick up from your hotel to reach the old Medina. Taxi prices range from around 100MAD to 200MAD depending on where you would like to go and what hotel you're staying with. ......
