Evening visits to the medina avoid the daytime heat and crowds, revealing a more peaceful side to this UNESCO World Heritage site
Fes’s ancient medina is a captivating labyrinth of narrow alleys, traditional shops, and historic buildings.
At night, soft lantern light bathes the streets, creating an atmospheric setting perfect for exploring on foot. Experience the medina’s quieter side, stopping at small cafes for mint tea, on a walk through Fes’s Royale Place, Mellah, la ville Nouvelle, Borj Nord and Borj Sud

Shop for souvenirs and snack on street food
While most traditional souks in Fes close around sunset, certain areas like the food stalls near Bab Bou Jeloud remain active into the evening. Wander through the mazelike streets, browsing stalls and grabbing a quick bite of freshly grilled meats or sweet pastries. With a vibrant vibe and variety of vendors, these are perfect spots for tasting street food and picking up last-minute souvenirs.

Evenings offer cooler temperatures and a lively atmosphere with lantern-lit stalls and the tantalising aroma of street food.
