Later in the afternoon, we will travel to Fes, where we will spend the night.

The tour starts from the gates of the Royal Palace and continues to the Jewish Quarter, where the first mera in Morocco was built in the 16th century. Don't miss out on any of the cultural and historical sites, including the prestigious Al-Qaraouine University, which is the oldest in the region. The Tannery, Atalin Museum, and Moulay Idriss Mausoleum are also worth visiting. After lunch, explore various co-ops and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the medina in Fez.
Fes is divided into three parts, each with its own unique characteristics. Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest part of the city and boasts over 9,000 narrow streets and alleys that are fortified by towering walls. Fes-Jdid, also known as "New Fez," is home to the Jewish Quarter and Ville Nouvelle, the newest area of the city that was created during the French occupation. In the afternoon, the journey continues towards Rabat and Casablanca.
