Best Tours & activities in Fes (2026)

A guide or organised experience makes Fes much easier to enjoy, because the medina is large, poorly signposted and full of unofficial guides. Food is the natural focus. Lahcen Beqqi has run cooking classes in the medina for years, starting with a shopping trip in the souk, and Palais Amani's Fez Cooking School offers hands-on workshops with a tasting tour of the market. Café Clock runs traditional cooking and baking classes alongside lessons in oud and calligraphy, so it is easy to combine learning with a meal.

For wider itineraries, Plan-it Fez organises medina tours, food tasting trails, design and craft visits and day trips to Volubilis, the Middle Atlas and further afield, with private transport arranged. Popular day trips from Fes include Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the holy town of Moulay Idriss and the blue streets of Chefchaouen, while longer excursions head to the Sahara. Book licensed guides through a reputable company or your riad, agree the itinerary and whether shopping stops are included before you set out, and allow at least half a day for a first medina tour.
