The Medina of Fes El Bali is the biggest Medina in Morocco and it´s full of life!
Madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains are everywhere! But, be careful, this Medina is also the most labyrinthine, so my advice is to have a local and official guide with you, especially if you have no much time to visit the city  because you´ll probably get lost more than once! ;)

The property was very nice but communication with the host was difficult because he only spoke French. Address was vague and had no specific number. It got us close to the apartment but we had to get actual decorations from the host and it was difficult.

4/5 - Good

Taxis are the best way to get anywhere, make sure you check that the meter is running though otherwise they can charge you quite a bit extra

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Do reccommend getting a guide to walk you through the medina. There are so many things tonsee it is easy to get lost.
