The 3rd day of this Morocco Desert Tour from Tangier will consist of a full free day in Fes. Entering the streets of the Medina (old city) we will feel that time goes back: the union structure is still present at workstations, the narrowness of its streets does not allow another means of transport than the donkeys and a constant tingling of people moves through the labyrinth alleys in the middle of which we will be surprised by neighbourhoods like the Andalusian, magnificent mosques and Koranic schools.
Fes has always been associated with study and religiosity, and remains the spiritual capital of Morocco.

The road must be travelled slowly, for its beauty and for being a mountain pass that crosses the Atlas in almost 2,300 meters of altitude.
