Fes Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Continue to fountains of the Zaouia Moulay Idriss II, a shrine to the city's most revered son and follow your nose to the Dyer's Souk and the Tanneries, where age-old methods are still used to colour wool and leather, the basis of the city's income for almost a 1,000 years. Be sure not to miss the Dar Batha Museum and Fondouk el-Nejjarine.
Visit the hilltop ruined Merenid Tombs outside the city walls for a spectacular overview of the ancient maze of streets pierced by white minarets. Give or take a few satellite dishes dotting the rooftops, this is Fes as it looked more than a thousand years ago. As darkness falls, hundreds of swifts fly home to roost in the city walls as the lights flicker on far below.
