The choice of where to stay in Fes it is of considerable importance for the visit of this holy city of Morocco. Fes is the oldest of the 4 imperial cities of Morocco, the others are Marrakech, Rabat and Meknès.
Where to sleep in Fes (Fez)
To sleep in Fes, there are two solutions regarding the choice of the neighborhood: opting for accommodation in the medina or out, in the new city. The medina offers the opportunity to stay in a riad or dar, or in traditional accommodation. In the new city, there are classic and more modern hotels.
For a first stay in the city, it is better to choose accommodation in the medina because most of the visit is concentrated in this area, especially in Fes el Bali, the oldest medina. Furthermore, staying here allows you to enjoy the charm of the riads.
However, it should be noted that the circulation of motor vehicles in the ancient city is not possible. Taxis take tourists to one of the access gates to the medina (bab in Arabic). Bab Boujloud is one of the best known gates.
If you have bagagli and your riad / dar is in the middle of the medina, you can ask for help from the riad managers, who offer transfer services.
