Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital, Fès is full of treasures. With a car rental in Fès, you explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace, without relying on taxis. Here are the best places to visit.
1. The Fès el-Bali medina
A UNESCO site and the largest car-free medina in the world. Park near Bab Boujloud (the blue gate) and dive into its alleys, souks and the famous Al Quaraouiyine University.
2. The Chouara tanneries
The colourful dyeing pits, best admired from the terraces of the leather shops.
3. Borj Sud and the panoramic views
At sunset, drive up to Borj Sud for a stunning view over the whole medina.
4. The Royal Palace and the Mellah
Admire the monumental golden gates of Dar el-Makhzen, then wander the historic Mellah district.
5. Nearby: Ifrane, Meknès and Volubilis
In a day, reach Ifrane (45 min), Meknès and the Roman site of Volubilis. This is where renting a car in Fès truly pays off.
Getting around
Choose a city car for town and an SUV for day trips. Use the guarded car parks around the fully pedestrian medina.
