Things to do in Saiss Airport
Fez is Morocco's spiritual and intellectual capital, home to the world's oldest continuously operating university (al-Qarawiyyin, founded 859 AD) and one of the best-preserved medieval medinas on Earth. Fes el-Bali is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — 9,000 lanes of tanneries, mosaic-tiled madrasas, and artisan workshops little changed in character for centuries. The Chouara Tannery viewed from surrounding leather shop terraces, the Bou Inania Madrasa, and the Bab Bou Jeloud gate are the iconic must-sees.

Top Tips for Saiss Airport
- A local guide is worth every dirham for the medina — the 9,000-lane labyrinth is genuinely disorienting even with GPS, and guides provide context that transforms the experience.
- The Chouara Tannery is best viewed from the leather shop terraces above — shops invite you up freely in exchange for browsing time.
