Marvel at the majestic golden bronze doors of the Royal Palace, framed with intricate zellij tilework and carved cedar wood. Though the palace itself is closed to the public, the gates are one of the most photographed sites in Fes. Your guide will share insights about the Alaouite dynasty and the palace’s role in Moroccan history.

Continue to the historic Jewish Quarter, distinguished by its unique balconies and architecture. Learn about the Jewish community that once flourished here and how their culture shaped Fes. This stop offers a different perspective compared to the traditional medina.
