Fez Region

The Fes-Boulemane region offers a diversity of visits and activities. Located in northern Morocco, below the region known as the Rif and west of the Middle Atlas, it enjoys an ideal and strategic location. You will discover a thousand-year-old heritage, a way of life, troglodyte villages, Swiss-style houses, viewpoints over the valleys, monkeys… The Fes-Boulemane region will win you over with its various sites, which have become popular tourist destinations.

Coming to Fes for a stay.

Fes’s geographical location places you centrally in relation to the various tourist visits to make during your stay in Morocco. You can choose to head west towards Meknes (Meknes link) or south-east towards Ifrane (Ifrane link). Whatever your choice for a day trip in this region of Morocco, you will be charmed by the contrast between the bustling city of Fes and the calm of its countryside. The landscapes are almost mountainous due to the proximity of the Middle Atlas, and you will take a winding road in complete safety to enjoy fabulous views. Do you expect to encounter monkeys (cedar forest) roaming free or a vineyard producing 85% of Moroccan wine (Roslane estate link)? The Riad Jamai team is happy to help you discover this heritage right next to the guesthouse.

Historic sites around Fes

Beyond the beauty of the landscapes, you will also find tourist sites such as the ancient Roman city of Volubilis (Volubilis link), an ancient Roman city discovered in northern Morocco that represents an important historical point of the Fes-Boulemane region. The small town of Moulay Idriss has become a pilgrimage site for practicing Muslims. Discover why this town, built on two hills and visible from Volubilis, is now important in the Muslim religion (Moulay Idriss link)
