This one day trip will be spent exploring Fez, the cultural capital of Morocco and some surrounding area. We will wander the Medina with its narrow alleys, working artisans and other delights. We will visit the Royal Palace, the Mellah and the Jewish quarters. You will see the famous tanneries, the Najjarine Fountain, the University of Al-Karaouine which was established in 859AD and is the oldest in the world. Our next stop is to visit a pottery factory where you can watch the artisans who make the stoneware, paint, chip the tiles for the mosaics or tables and fountains. If you are planning on purchasing some Moroccan blue and white pottery, this is the place to do so at a reasonable price. From here, we will go to the old fort where you will have fabulous panoramic views of Fes with ample photo opportunities. We will then return you to your riad.
