How The Month Feels
November leaves Fes bright through the medina, with Bab Semmarine and the artisan festival season adding movement to the streets. By evening, the pace drops faster than in October, especially once the air cools around Fondouk el-Nejjarine .
What To Lock In Early
Reserve Borj Nord and Fondouk el-Nejjarine if you want your core visits fixed. Leave your Bab Semmarine and medina wandering open, since November's 8.9 hours of sunshine give you room to adjust.
How to do it
Plan cue
Book a visit to Fondouk el-Nejjarine early in the day, then keep Borj Nord for the clearer afternoon light.
Plan cue
Plan time at Bab Semmarine and Horloge Bouinaniyya de Fès on the same route to reduce backtracking through the medina.
Plan cue
If the Fes artisan festival season is part of your trip, reserve your main Fes hotel before you lock the day-by-day schedule.
