Fes

Fes is Morocco's spiritual and intellectual capital, with a UNESCO-listed medina (Fes el-Bali) that is considered the world's largest car-free urban area and one of the best-preserved medieval cities on Earth. Founded in the 9th century, Fes was for centuries the political capital of Morocco and home to the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university, founded in 859 AD and recognised as the oldest continuously operating university in the world.

The medina of Fes el-Bali is a sensory maze of 9,400 streets and alleys, each dedicated to a specific craft or trade. The Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed using centuries-old natural methods since the 11th century, is the city's most iconic sight — best viewed from the surrounding terraces of the leather merchants above. The Bou Inania Madrasa, the al-Attarine Madrasa, and the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts & Crafts represent the pinnacle of Islamic architectural decoration in Morocco.

KechGo offers private transfers from Marrakech to Fes, a journey of approximately 7 hours. We recommend breaking the journey with a stop in Ifrane ('Little Switzerland') or Azrou for lunch. Alternatively, KechGo offers one-way transfers forming part of a Morocco circuit — Marrakech → Fes → Chefchaouen is a classic itinerary.
