The oldest living medina in the world, best seen on foot and slowly.
Fes el-Bali is a medieval city still fully alive: nine thousand alleys, donkey-cart logistics, and craftsmen working the same trades their families have for centuries. With private access we take you inside the Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas, above the famous tanneries, into a master ceramicist's studio, and to a Sufi music evening held within the walls.
Fes el-Bali, the old medina of Fes, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world. Its lanes are easy to get lost in, so a licensed guide makes the difference between walking through it and understanding it. Celeste Trails has a second office in Fez, which helps with local coordination.
It is strongly recommended. The medina is very large and dense, and a licensed guide gives access to madrasas, workshops and viewpoints you would struggle to find alone.
Yes. A common route links Marrakech, the gorges, Merzouga and Fes, or the reverse, over several days by road.
