Why Fes for groups

Why Fes for a heritage programme.

The medina
One of the world’s largest car-free urban areas, and Morocco’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site (1981).
Private palaces and riads
Historic houses can be hired for a group: dinners in courtyards that few visitors see.
Craft, up close
Tanneries, metalworkers, weavers and the madrasas: the city is a living workshop.
Connected
A direct train to Marrakech via Rabat and Casablanca, and Saïss airport for European flights.

When to come

Fes through the year.

Autumn
October averages a high of about 26.1 °C and a low of about 12.6 °C: ideal for the medina on foot.
Spring
Mild and green, another good season for walking programmes.
Summer
Hot inland: plan the medina for mornings and evenings.
Winter
Cool and sometimes wet, with cold nights. Ramadan and Eid move each year, so check dates first.
