Fez riad + driver
A riad in the heart of the medina, a driver at your disposal and guided visits in the largest car-free city in the world.
Fez is a walking city. This package puts you in a riad inside the medina and gives you a driver for everything beyond the walls: Meknes, Volubilis, the Middle Atlas.
Guided visits are included — invaluable in a maze of 9,000 lanes, where a local guide opens up the workshops and the terraces. Indicative length from four nights, adjustable.

Frequently asked questions
How many nights to allow in Fez?
Four nights let you take the medina without rushing and give a full day to Meknes and Volubilis. One more night if you want to push on to Chefchaouen.
Is the driver available every day?
The driver is at your disposal throughout the stay; the detail of each day and the distances are agreed with you at the quote stage.
Is a guide really necessary?
In Fez el-Bali, yes, at least for the first half day: the medina is a maze, and a local guide opens up the craftsmen's workshops and the viewpoints.
