The Mellah of Fes is the historic Jewish quarter, located in Fes el-Jdid. Fes represents a unique mixture of Jewish heritage and Islamic history.

Your Fes tour itinerary

I will meet you in the lobby of the riad or hotel and begin your tour in Fes Jdid (“New Fes”), which was founded by the Marinids in 1276 as an extension of Fes el-Bali (the old city/medina). This quarter is home to the historic Royal Palace and also contains the Mellah, the Jewish quarter of the city. Fes hosted the largest and one of the oldest Jewish communities in Morocco. The Jews then lived alongside the Muslim population in Fes el-Bali. Walk through the Jewish Mellah and discover its architecture of balconies situated near the Royal Palace. You will visit the 17th-century Ibn Danan and Slat El Fassiyine synagogues. Then, you will uncover hidden gems: step off the beaten path and explore the quiet alleyways and artisanal workshops. I will explain the local customs, and you will learn about the real way of life of the people. Have a relaxing break and walk through more souks. I will adapt the experience just for you, ensuring an unforgettable adventure. Your tour ends at the hotel or riad.
