Histoire

Fes starts with steep medina lanes, Tazekka National Park earns a pause for Middle Atlas protected landscape near Taza, and Fes leaves the itinerary with craft quarters.

Before Bhalil, day 1 separates steep medina lanes in Fes; Bhalil shapes day 3 ahead of Fes through cave dwellings; before Fes, Tazekka National Park takes its day 4 focus from Middle Atlas protected landscape near Taza. By day 7 toward Fes, Dayet Aoua brings in water levels that change strongly by season; Fes shapes day 11 ahead of Bhalil through craft quarters.

Between Fes, where steep medina lanes shapes the opening, and Tazekka National Park, where Middle Atlas protected landscape near Taza changes the register, the geography passes through Fès-Meknès; the selected travel mix leaves time for villages between walking stages.

Keep current paths at Fes, equipment, and physical load and road advisories at Tazekka National Park and fresh network duration live for the move beyond Fes; carry the Tazekka National Park check into Fes.
