The Whispering Streets of Fes

In the heart of Morocco, where the ancient city of Fes stands as a testament to time, the streets whisper tales of culinary secrets and historical wonders. As the sun rises on November 16th, the city awakens under a canopy of mild, overcast skies, perfect for a day of exploration.

Begin your journey with a cooking class at Dar Yassine, where the morning light filters through the windows, casting a warm glow on the kitchen. Here, you will learn the art of Moroccan cuisine, guided by the gentle hands of your hosts. As you dice onions and blend spices, the stories of the medina unfold around you, each dish a chapter in the city’s rich tapestry.

“A Glimpse of Heaven - Our host, Btissam, and mother Maria live in a modest flat outside the medina up on a hillside. It is not a commercial property, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid. The experience was most authentic.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-27

The gentle hum of life in Fes is a symphony of sights and sounds, each note a reminder of the city’s enduring spirit. As you explore, let the history of Fes guide you, each step a journey through time.

Pause for a moment to reflect on the beauty of the city, the intricate mosaics and towering minarets standing as monuments to a bygone era. The mild weather invites you to linger, to lose yourself in the labyrinth of streets and stories.

A Culinary Odyssey

As the day draws to a close, the city of Fes offers one final gift: an evening of culinary delight. On November 17th, as the sun sets in a blaze of color, join a cooking experience at Riad Zina Fes. Here, under the watchful eye of skilled chefs, you will create a feast fit for royalty.
