Our Fes Jewish Heritage Tour includes a visit to the Jewish neighborhood (known as the Mellah), which comprises a number of synagogues, cemeteries, and other Jewish historical monuments. You will walk through the Mellah’s small streets and alleyways and learn about the everyday lives and traditions of the Jewish community that once thrived there.
You will also visit the Jewish Cemetery and Tomb of Solica, which is particularly significant to women. The Jewish cemetery has the most Jewish saints’ graves of any cemetery in Morocco. Lalla Solica, who was slain for refusing to convert to Islam, is one of the most prominent saints.
The Royal Palace of Fes, the Bou Inania Madrasa, and other prominent monuments and cultural places in the city are included on the tour. Our qualified local guide generally leads the Fes Jewish Heritage Tour, providing historical background and answering questions about Jewish culture and history in Fes and Morocco.
This is your chance to know more about the Jewish population of Fes. So, join us on our Fes Jewish Heritage Tour! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
