Our Work

Fez Medina offers access to a Fes invisible to the average tourist. We make it possible for travelers to experience living in a traditional house or riad in the medieval medina of Fes, Morocco, with full staff support. Fes Medina is a small, family-run social enterprise whose revenue supports non-profit artist residencies in the medina of Fes. We offer our services to honor and foster understanding of the remarkably intact Old City of Fes—its architecture, its spirituality, its culture, and its people. Fes Medina offers a range of unique services for our guests, including restoration tours and special cultural encounters. We offer more than just a vacation rental or a hotel in Fes—we offer an opportunity for a rare personal experience of Moroccan life.

Understanding the Fes Medina

An architectural treasure, the Fez medina is known for the most remarkable medina in Morocco, an intact medieval city of souks and labyrinthine alleys designated by UNESCO in its entirety as a World Monument. Fez was founded at the end of the 8th century. Its Andalusian Quarter was founded by over one thousand Muslim families expelled from Arab Andalusian Spain bearing with them the learning, culture and architecture of a civilization at the height of its glory. Fez’s traditional houses reflect the crafts that distinguish the Alhambra. Fez is the oldest of Morocco's imperial cities and a religious, intellectual and artistic center of great historic importance.
