En route visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis which are sprawled over a wildflower-dotted hillside. Excavated by the French in 1915, these Roman ruins date back to the 3rd century AD and should not to be missed.

Today UNESCO has designated the entire Medina of Fes as a world monument with its car-free urban area.  See the colourful leather-dying pits and the old Madrasa Attarine– a breath-taking 14th century religious college.  Enjoy great city views from one of the surrounding hills with their fortresses- Borj Sud and Borj Nord. 

In the evening, discover true Moroccan life by having a dinner with a local family within the Medina of Fes.

On day 7, head out for a full day tour of Marrakech city:

Koutoubia Minaret

The centre piece of Marrakech is the square tower of the Koutoubia minaret, attached to the Koutoubia Mosque, which was built in the late 12th century. It's not particularly high—about 250 feet—but it towers over the Medina thanks to a long-standing planning ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above it.

El-Bahia Palace

This 19th century palace is elaborate in its decoration and was built over a period seven years for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa, there are row after row of apartments—that once housed Ahmed's harem—a trapezoidal garden, a huge tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures, both in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture.

Saadian Tombs

One of the most visited sites in Morocco is the Saadian Tombs which were once only accessible via the mosque next door. However, in 1917 they were opened to the public and can now be accessed via a narrow passage that leads to an enclosed garden watched over by two mausoleums that include more than one hundred mosaic decorated tombs.

The Souks:

At the heart of Marrakech, filling the alleys north of the central square, are the souks, mile after constricted mile of tiny, closet-sized emporia. The sheer number of shops is overwhelming—100 of them in 100 yards. Every section of the souk has its own specialty, with alleys devoted to everything from spices and ironwork to the ingredients necessary for casting magic spells.
