Batha Musuem for art and Traditions ,under constructions for the moment so we will pass by it only. However it was originally a Palace built Moulay El Hassan, for official receptions, so it included a beautiful courtyard covered in colored tile and featuring a large Fountain. Unfortunately under renovation.

We really enjoyed our tour on 17th December. As a Christian/Jewish couple, we try to explore the Jewish history of any place we visit, and getting to explore the Jewish cemetery and old synagogue was very interesting. The panoramic views of the city as a whole were very impressive, really giving a sense of the scale of Fes. We also really appreciated the chance to see traditional ceramics and mosaics being created.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the Jewish heritage of Fes and that the cemetery and old synagogue were meaningful highlights for you. It’s also wonderful to know you appreciated the panoramic views and the visit to the traditional ceramics and mosaic workshops. We truly hope to welcome you again on another journey through Morocco!
Great tour with a nice guide, You will have time to take pictures quietly. Ceramics were nothing rushed but can't help the guide
Bedankt voor je review! We zijn blij dat je hebt genoten van de tour en dat de gids vriendelijk en behulpzaam was. Fijn dat je de tijd had om rustig foto’s te maken en de bezienswaardigheden te ontdekken. We hopen je weer te mogen verwelkomen voor een andere mooie ervaring in Marokko!
<p>The driver/tour guide is very informative. I'm just disappointed that he didn't let me take a photo of the king's palace in front, but i have to content myself of taking a photograph of myself at the side of the palace</p>
