Experience It! Fes and the Medina
Fes, the former capital of Morocco and one of the holiest cities in the world.
Here, time seems to stand still among its well-preserved buildings and deep
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,

into the Medina, is to step inside a labyrinth of surprises. More than a thousand
years of Moroccan heritage has been preserved in this UNESCO World Heritage
site, where street vendors and buyers walk alongside goods-laden donkeys and
mules past ancient mosques, madrases and intricate carvings. This is Fes, another
world in the northwest of Morocco, inspiring, vibrant, and authentic.

 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:

 Jemaa el Fna, the main square and market of Marrakech, comes alive at night. Your senses will
 tingle as you walk through the square on a guided tour – smell the intoxicating culinary
 creations from the food stalls and listen to the rhythms of local musicians and entertainers.
 Storytellers often have crowds around them listening to ancient tales passed down from
 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
 passengers is required. Transportation is included.
