More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive before the medina wakes fully: the road from Casablanca flattens into scrub and ochre hills, then Fes appears, its ancient walls holding a city that still moves by hand and foot. The Oued Fes threads through the old quarters, daring you to follow its curve as rooflines shift from tile to cedar and carved plaster.
