Fez

You have a full day tour of Fez, a fascinating city with an ancient medina where tradition still rules everyday life. At the end of the tour you can enjoy a mint tea on the roof terrace at your riad. As dusk falls you can look over the city as the call to prayer echoes around you - an unforgettable experience.
