Fez, the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco, is one of the most captivating cities in North Africa and a perfect gateway to explore the country’s wonders. Starting your Private Morocco Tours from Fez allows you to discover the authentic side of Morocco — from its labyrinthine medina to the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert. Fez’s international airport, located just 15 km from the old city, makes it easily accessible from Europe and a convenient departure point for travelers seeking both adventure and cultural immersion.
As the country’s oldest imperial city, Fez preserves centuries of Moroccan history and tradition. It was founded during the Idrisid dynasty between the 8th and 9th centuries and has served as Morocco’s capital three times. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medina of Fez (Fes el Bali) is one of the world’s largest car-free zones — a living museum of Moroccan heritage where time seems to stand still.
Walking through its narrow alleys, you’ll discover the artistry of Moroccan craftsmen, from zellige tilework and leather tanning to intricate wood carving. Fez is also home to Al-Qarawiyyin University, recognized by UNESCO and Guinness World Records as the oldest continually operating university in the world.
If you dream of the Sahara, Fez is the ideal place to start your Morocco Desert Tour. The famous route from Fez to Merzouga crosses the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, lush cedar forests, and Berber villages before reaching the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. You can experience a 2-day desert trip from Fez if your time is limited, or extend it to a 3 or 4-day private tour that includes camel trekking, stargazing in luxury desert camps, and visits to kasbahs and oases.
