This itinerary covers central Fez over three days. Day 1 focuses on the medina's main gates, madrasas, university and tannery. Day 2 continues with museums and the Mellah before reaching the Marinid Tombs. Day 3 visits Volubilis and Moulay Idriss Zerhoun outside the city.
Three days covers the main medina sites plus Volubilis. Add one day if you want slower pacing through the souks.
Buy tickets on site at Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas. Arrive before 10 a.m. to skip lines.
Take a shared grand taxi from Bab Ftouh or a CTM bus to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun then a short taxi to the site. Total travel time is two hours each way.
Wear closed shoes and bring mint sprigs for the smell. The tannery terraces have no shade so use sunscreen and carry water.
