Brief
- Explore the Fès el-Bali medina on foot. Many lanes are inaccessible to vehicles, so arrange drop-off points with your riad and use petit taxis for trips outside the old city.
- Try local specialities including pastilla, Fassi tagine, harira, couscous, chebakia pastries, fresh mint tea, and seasonal fruit. Choose busy places where food is cooked to order.
- The medina's uneven, crowded lanes make closed, comfortable shoes more practical than sandals.
Safety and health
- An exceptional heat spell is forecast across Morocco from 5-8 September, with temperatures around 38-42°C in Fès. Limit strenuous sightseeing during the afternoon and seek shade or air conditioning. (
