The medina, the crafts and the rooftops brought alive for every generation.
Few countries move so effortlessly from imperial medinas to snow-touched mountains to the immense silence of the Sahara, all within a few hours' drive.
When to go
March to May and September to November, when the days are warm, the light is clear and the desert nights turn crisp rather than cold. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Base the family in a spacious riad within the medina, its courtyard a calm centre after the busy lanes
- Follow a guide through the old city on a route built for children, the tanneries and the potters along the way
- Try a hands-on craft together, from shaping a mosaic tile to throwing a first pot at the wheel
- Climb to the rooftop at the end of the day, the medina spread out below as the swifts wheel overhead
A sense of the rhythm
Fez can feel intense to younger travellers, so the days are shaped to keep it a delight. Medina mornings are kept short and full of things to do, afternoons rest in the cool of the riad courtyard, and each day closes gently on the rooftop. The city stays an adventure rather than an ordeal.
A family riad in Fez
A spacious riad gives a family its own quiet refuge within the busy medina, a courtyard where children can settle between outings. Away from a large hotel, meals follow your rhythm and the household comes to know the little ones by name.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Keep medina outings short and hands-on, ending before younger travellers tire
- Choose a riad with a generous courtyard, a calm base at the heart of the old city
- Build in a craft workshop or two, the surest way to hold children's interest in Fez
- Wear closed, sturdy shoes for all the family on the steep and uneven lanes
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$8,200 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
