Best time
- March–May and September–November — comfortable temperatures and clear light on the medina rooftops. Avoid July and August for the heat in the tannery quarter, and Ramadan if you want most restaurants open at midday.
Fez in 48 hours
Fez
A two-day Fez itinerary covering Fes el-Bali on day one, Fes el-Jdid plus the hilltop viewpoints on day two — so you finish with the city's biggest monuments and its widest panoramas, plus a fixed-menu dinner in a family riad.
Practical tips
- Use a riad runner or licensed guide for the first medina entry. Carry small notes for monument tickets. Pre-book Nur and Restaurant Dar Hatim — both have small dining rooms and fill up days in advance.
FAQs
Yes for the headline list — two full days fit Bou Inania, Qarawiyyin, Chouara, Nejjarine, Dar Batha, the Mellah and one viewpoint. Three days lets you slow down and add Volubilis or the Middle Atlas as a day trip.
Inside the medina — a riad near Bab Bou Jeloud (close to Talaa Kebira) or near R'cif (close to the tannery quarter). Walking back to your room beats long taxi rides from the Ville Nouvelle every evening.
If you have a third day: Volubilis + Meknes is the classic half-day, Chefchaouen is a full long day, the Middle Atlas (Ifrane and the Barbary macaques at Azrou) is a relaxed full day.
