Book hostels in Fes
The oldest medieval medina on earth. Tanneries, tiles, and tea on rooftops.
Fes is older, deeper and more intricate than Marrakech. Fes el-Bali, the ancient walled medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest car-free urban areas on the planet. The hostels here are generally smaller, more atmospheric, and a little quieter — perfect for slow travellers, history buffs, and anyone who wants to get properly lost in a maze of alleys.
