Cheap flights to Fez
Fez is famous for its handicrafts, particularly its beautiful blue and white tiles and in this town you will find some of the best shopping in Morocco. The endless medina, which contains 9,500 streets sells everything from jewellery, furniture and crafts, to carpets, leather goods and spices, as well as all the necessities for daily life. The medina is not for tourists only, it is very much an integral part of daily life here and where much business is conducted.
The decades of French rule in Morocco have left a unique influence that is visible in the infrastructure and cuisine. Arabic is the main language in Morocco but French is widely spoken so it is easier to get around than in many other Arabic countries. People in Fez are exceptionally friendly and hospitable, and love to talk to travellers to boast proudly about their city. If you speak with a local for any length of time, be prepared to be invited to his house for tea. This is a genuine and innocent offer, so don’t shy away from it—it is a great way to get to know people and to get a feel for life here.
Things to do and see
The Mellah - The 14th century Jewish quarter of Fez has currently 160,000 inhabitants living amongst 9,500 streets. Several sites of Jewish heritage lie here and are well worth a look. Because of the maze of streets, it is wise to explore the mellah with an official guide.
Dar Batha Museum - Situated in a century old Spanish-Moorish palace, this museum possesses a unique collection of traditional Moroccan arts and crafts.
Hammam Mernessi - There are many hammams throughout the medina. This one is conveniently located and a tourist friendly, so foreigners will feel comfortable. Men and women are allowed in at different times.
Fez has a delightful dining scene --plenty of traditional Moroccan cuisine rounded out by chic European, particularly French inspired eateries. Because of the temperate climate, many restaurants have outdoor gardens or patios, which add an enchanting element to the experience.
