Luxury travel in Fes, planned end to end

A luxury trip to Fes is a palace riad in the medina, a private guide for the lanes, dinners chosen with care, a hammam at the end of the day and, if you like, a small camp in the Sahara dunes. We plan and book all of it as one private, custom-quoted trip.

We choose the riad, the guide, the table and the dunes, with nothing left to chance.Plan this with us

Fes at its finest, without the friction

Fes is not a city of big resorts. Its luxury is quieter: a restored courtyard house with a handful of suites, a guide who takes you to the workshops and not the commission shops, a table in a family home, a long hammam, and a car waiting at the gate when you're done.

We put those pieces together for you. The point is that nothing is left to chance: the porter is at the gate, the guide knows your pace, the restaurant expects you, and the drive south is timed for the light.

A Fes-based trip planner from Serenity Morocco Tours puts the whole thing together: the stay, the transfers, the guide, the tables and the timing. We tell you why we suggest each place, and if a property isn't right for your dates or your needs we say so and offer another. You get one written proposal and one contact for the whole trip.

Before you ask us

The questions people ask us most before they plan a trip.

What does a luxury trip to Fes include?
Whatever you want it to. Typically a palace riad or suite, private transfers and a private guide, reserved tables for dinner, a hammam or spa, and often a night or two in a luxury Sahara camp. We put it in one written plan with one custom quote.
How is this different from a private tour?
Every trip we run is private. Luxury means we also choose the high-end stays, the best tables and the slower pacing, and we build in the extras: a private hammam, a chef's tasting menu, a camp with en-suite tents.
Do you own the riads or camps?
No. We plan and book them as part of your trip. We don't own, manage or partner with any property, so we suggest what suits you.
How many days do we need for a luxury Fes trip?
Three nights in Fes is a good minimum, plus two days for the Sahara. Five days covers both comfortably; add Marrakech or Chefchaouen for a week or more.

Tell us your dates. We'll plan it with you.

  1. Tell us what drew you in. Your dates, who is travelling and what you want to see.
  2. A person reads it. We write a day-by-day plan for your group, private or small-group.
  3. You change anything. Then we confirm the guides, drivers and riads.
