🇲🇦 Morocco 7-Day Itinerary: The Magic of Fes

Day 4: From the Desert to Fes 🚗 8-hour drive from Merzouga → Fes, passing through: Ifrane (Morocco’s "Little Switzerland") ❄️ Monkey Forest 🐒: Wild monkeys climb onto your shoulders for nuts (tip the locals!). Horseback riding available nearby. 🍲 Lunch at Café Restaurant 7 ✔️ English menu | ✔️ Best tagine of the trip! 🍲 Dinner at Rujia Restaurant 📍 Near Bab Boujloud (Blue Gate) ✔️ Authentic Chinese food (sour fish soup, shredded potatoes, hand-torn cabbage, noodles) ✔️ Super friendly owner Day 5: Exploring Fes Medina 👨🏽‍🦱 Hired a local guide (400 MAD for 6 people)—a must! The 9,000-alley maze is impossible to navigate alone. 🏰 Why Fes Matters: Morocco’s 2nd-largest city & 1st imperial city (founded 789 AD). Nicknamed "Mecca of the West" & "Athens of Africa" for its Islamic scholarship. UNESCO-listed medina (1981) = heart of Moroccan culture for 1,200+ years. 📍 Must-See Spots 1️⃣ Royal Palace of Fes Can’t enter, but the golden brass gates are stunning. 2️⃣ Borj Sud Weapons museum with panoramic views of Fes. 3️⃣ Art D'ARGILE Watch handmade pottery & mosaics—pricier than the medina but higher quality. 4️⃣ Al Attarine Madrasa (20 MAD) 14th-century Islamic school with intricate carvings & a serene courtyard. 5️⃣ Al Quaraouiyin Mosque & University Oldest university in the world (est. 859 AD!)—non-Muslims can’t enter but admire from outside. 6️⃣ Chouara Tannery Iconic but pungent! Get mint leaves for the smell. 🏨 Stay at Riad Sayeda Al Hora ✔️ Gorgeous traditional guesthouse | ✔️ Spacious rooms #FesTravel #MoroccoGuide #CulturalGem #HiddenFes
