Car Hire Fez Review
I was very pleased with the whole experience, the price for hire was the best I could find on the Internet and I could not find another company providing the same type of vehicle I wanted. The reminder e-mail just before we left was also appreciated and I would not hesitate to use your company again. Thank you! [...]

Fez
Time doesn’t stand still in Fez, but it certainly looks that way. Buried deep in northern Morocco, the city boasts many accolades. It was here that the world’s first university was established. Within the walls and markets of the Medina, Fez quickly became Morocco’s religious and cultural heart. Even the country’s own independence was born here, echoing throughout the surreal and old world architecture of the city.
Day Trips/Events in Fez
Travellers looking to get out of town for a few hours have several options in and around Fez. After stopping at the Fez Car Hire, travelers can reach the Imperial City of Meknes just an hour away along with the Roman ruins of Volubilis. For those that want to stick closer to the stalls of Fez’s Medina, the Merenid Tombs present an activity somewhat away from the chaotic city. These 14th century tombs are now in ruins, but the view from them is stunning.
Although, getting to know Fez truly reaches that closeness while meandering through the narrow passageways of the Medina, breathing in market smells and listening to the sounds of local chatter. That is an event unto itself in Fez that occurs daily.
Things to see/do in Fez
The old town of Fez, the Medina, usually falls on most visitors’ first stop in town. The Medina is the largest living Islamic medieval city in the world. Market stalls crowd selling their handmade and prized goods, anything from cloths to slippers, pottery and leather. Weaving through narrow streets and chaos makes Fez truly out of this world. To get to know Fez even more, beyond just bumping into locals at the crowded markets, Fez houses several museums for history and art lessons. Among the most noted, visitors can visit the Batha Museum, Belghazi Museum, Fez Art Gallery and the Orientalist Art Gallery.
Learning a thing or two in Fez has been a part of its tradition for centuries and centuries, and centuries. The Kairaouine Mosque and University claims that unique title in academia, the oldest university in the entire world. The site is also made up of the largest mosque in all of Africa. Built in 859, minds have been accumulating intelligence throughout these walls for centuries. As Morocco still respects the traditions of religion, many buildings like the Kairaouine Mosque are only open to Muslims. The same goes of the Moulay Idriss Zawiya, a mausoleum of the city’s founder. While only Muslims can view the interior of the most venerated pilgrimage site in the country, anyone can admire the cared and painted wooden touches on the exterior.
Plenty of architectural wonders cloud the city of Fez. Covering the city in its entirety by car allows for a more completed picture. With Argus Car Hire in town, this is possible, promising service and budgets in mind for travelers looking for some wheels.
Eating Out in Fez
Moroccan and North African flavors fill Fez to the brim with tasty dishes at every restaurant or café. Being close to Europe, travelers will also find a few European hints throughout Fez’s cuisine. The more local experience is to get your food from the Central Market in Fez. Vendors sell fresh vegetables, fish, and meat in this venue.
