Hotels in Fes-Meknes, Morocco
Fes-Meknes sits in northern Morocco's foothills, where hot summers (up to 95°F/35°C) turn the ancient medinas into a labyrinth of shaded alleys, while cool winters (around 50°F/10°C) make exploring the bustling tanneries and 14th-century Bou Inania Madrasa comfortable. In Fes el-Bali, you'll get lost in the world's oldest car-free city, with its Chouara tannery dye pits and colorful souks; in Meknes, the quieter Bab Mansour gate and Moulay Ismail's granary offer a slower pace. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, with mild 70°F/21°C days perfect for hiking to the Roman ruins of Volubilis or joining a traditional gnawa music session in Fes's nightly festivals.
