Embark on a private day trip from Casablanca to the ancient city of Fez, where history, culture, and craftsmanship come alive. Wander through UNESCO-listed medinas, marvel at centuries-old architecture, and discover the soul of Morocco with local guide

Step into a world frozen in time with our Best Fez Day Trip from Casablanca—a private, full-day journey into the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. This immersive experience invites you to explore Fez, one of the oldest and most enchanting cities in North Africa, with your own personal driver and expert local guide.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable early-morning pick-up from your hotel in Casablanca. As we travel inland through picturesque Moroccan landscapes, your anticipation will grow—because Fez is no ordinary destination. It’s a living museum, a maze of ancient alleyways, aromatic souks, and awe-inspiring architecture.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your local guide and step into the legendary Fez Medina (Fes el-Bali), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest car-free urban area in the world. You’ll visit architectural gems like the Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud), the Al-Qarawiyyin University—the world’s oldest university, and the beautifully preserved Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas.

Feel the rhythm of daily life as you pass donkey carts, local artisans, and colorful spice stalls. Gaze down over the iconic Chouara Tannery, where leather is dyed using centuries-old methods, and marvel at the craftsmanship in the woodcarving and ceramic souks.

Midday, you’ll pause to enjoy a mouthwatering lunch in a local restaurant, savoring Moroccan specialties like slow-cooked tagine and fresh mint tea. Afterward, head to Borj Nord, perched above the city, for breathtaking panoramic views, followed by a visit to a traditional ceramics workshop, where you’ll see firsthand how Fez’s world-renowned blue pottery and zellige tiles are made.

Finally, relax on your return drive to Casablanca, filled with rich memories, vibrant photos, and a deeper connection to Moroccan heritage.

This is more than a tour—it’s a deep dive into Morocco’s soul, tailored just for you.
