Experience It! Fes and the Medina
Fes, the former capital of Morocco and one of the holiest cities in the world.

traditions. This is Moroccan culture at its most sincere, and the lifestyle here has
contributed greatly to Fes’ given title of a “cultural and spiritual center.” In the
Medina of Fes, discover one of the most historic towns of the Arab-Muslim
world. Its monumental buildings preserve the memory of the Idrisid dynasty that
ruled there from 789 to 808 A.D. To enter through the Blue Gate, Bab Boujeloud,

Toledo $105 USD 11/02/2020
The ancient, medieval city of Toledo is a UNESCO World Heritage city with more than 100
monuments. You'll discover a glorious city filled with amazing medieval architecture. This
former capital of Spain (until 1560) has always been regarded as the city of three cultures
(Christian, Jewish and Islamic). Toledo offers one of the most comprehensive collections of
architecture in Spain: Arabian, Jewish, Mudéjar, Gothic, Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque.
Join a local expert on a walking tour into the past along Toledo’s cobblestone alleyways and
explore the historic city center, one of the largest in Spain. See the magnificent 13th-century
Gothic Cathedral, considered to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain. A highlight of
any visit to Toledo is seeing the famous paintings by the 16th-century master, El Greco. Toledo
was the setting for many of El Greco's artworks, and a tour highlight is a stop at the Church of
Santo Tome to view El Greco’s masterpiece painting, The Burial of Count Orgaz. Duration:
Approximately 5 hours. Please note a minimum of 15 passengers is required. Transportation is

generations. Enjoy time on your own to explore the square. Perhaps you will visit one of the
local fortune tellers to have your future told to you or listen to the hypnotic tunes of the snake
charmers. Later, enjoy a traditional dinner at a local restaurant off of the square and toast to your
evening in Marrakech. Duration: Approximately 3 hours. Please note a minimum of 5
