The oldest of Morocco's imperial cities and its spiritual capital, whose old medina, Fes el-Bali, is often called the largest car-free urban area on earth. Down its sloping lanes stand the oldest continuously operating university in the world, madrasas of dizzying carved ornament, a founder-saint's shrine and tanneries working as they have for centuries. Beside it lie the royal city of Fes Jdid and one of Morocco's oldest Jewish quarters. Read the medieval maze and the imperial city, at your own pace.

What each tour covers

• Fes el-Bali: Inside the World's Largest Living Medina: A walk down the great sloping artery of Fez's medieval old city, from the ceremonial Blue Gate to the hand-worked tanneries, threading a thousand years of a car-free city that still works.
• Fes Jdid and the Mellah: The Imperial and Jewish City: A walk through the second Fez the Marinids built beside the ancient medina: golden royal gates, the street-facing mellah with its surviving synagogue and outlasting cemetery, the empty parade grounds, a cool royal garden, and the ruined tombs of the dynasty that founded it all.
