Fes — frequently asked questions

Do I need a guide in the Fes medina?

A licensed guide is highly recommended for a first visit — the medina has thousands of alleys and a guide will save time and add context.

How far is Fes from Chefchaouen?

About 4 hours by private car. Many travelers combine Fes and Chefchaouen in a northern Morocco loop.
