The Belghazi Museum
A private museum housed in a beautiful 19th-century palace in the medina, showcasing a vast collection of Moroccan artifacts.
💡 Tip: It feels like exploring a wealthy Fassi family's home, with rooms dedicated to jewelry, textiles, weapons, and manuscripts. It's more intimate and less crowded than Dar Batha.
The Pottery Hill (Colline des Potiers) in Ain Nokbi
The actual workshops and kilns where the famous Fes blue pottery is made, located just outside the medina walls.
💡 Tip: You can watch the entire process—from throwing clay to hand-painting intricate patterns—without the sales pressure of the showrooms in the medina. It's the authentic behind-the-scenes view.
Pourquoi Visiter Fès
