Fes
- Moroccan Calligraphy Workshops
Calligraphy workshops can be attached to medina cities, museums and cultural centers, with beginner lettering, script history, paper or tile work and family-friendly options.
- Fes
Give Fes time for its medina, working craft quarters and historic architecture. Plan a few connected visits, decide when a guide adds value and keep onward heritage or Middle Atlas trips distinct.
- Chicken Pastilla
Its defining character is a layered festive pie balancing poultry, almonds, eggs, spice, crisp pastry and powdered sugar.
- Fes Festival of Sufi Culture
Fes Festival of Sufi Culture is a spiritual culture festival recurring series based in Fes and connected to Fes-Meknes. The event is defined by Sufi thought, music, lectures, rituals and cultural dialogue in Fes.
- Arriving in the Fès medina with luggage
Fes needs a service record that solves a real geometry problem: vehicles stop outside much of the historic core, while lodgings and attractions may lie beyond slopes, steps and narrow unpaved lanes.
- Fes: a closer look at workshops, woodwork and leather
Spend time with the materials of Fes rather than rushing between purchases. Begin in the medina, examine woodwork at Nejjarine, then compare metalwork and leather through visits that respect working spaces.
