About Fes for Solo Travelers
The world's most intact medieval city — Fes el-Bali's 9,000 alleyways reward solo travelers who get lost on purpose and let the medieval Moroccan world absorb them completely.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Fes el-Bali is the world's largest car-free urban area and genuinely labyrinthine — a guide for the first day is strongly recommended to get your bearings and understand what you're seeing. After that, solo wandering is where the real discovery happens. The tanneries viewed from leather shop rooftops are extraordinary. Stay inside the medina for full immersion.
