Snabba fakta: The Royal Palace's main gate, Bab Bou Jeloud, is famously covered with 15,000 blue and green tiles arranged in intricate geometric patterns. Its sprawling complex covers about 80,000 square meters, including lavish gardens and grand reception halls not open to the public.
Höjdpunkter: Glimpse the dazzling zellige tilework on the palace’s gates that sparkle under the Moroccan sun creating a mesmerizing effect. The palace's massive brass-studded portals each weigh over a ton, showcasing the craftsmanship and power of the Moroccan monarchy.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the area around the palace involves walking on cobbled streets.
- Bring a camera for close-up shots of the tilework on the gates but respect signs indicating photography restrictions.
- Visit early to avoid larger crowds and get unobstructed views of the palace facade.
- Skip trying to enter the palace interior; focus on soaking in the exterior grandeur and nearby historic sites.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Fes, Morocco, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
