Jambo, fellow travelers! Thinking of a whirlwind weekend in Fez, Morocco? Springtime, eh? Magnifique! But be warned, my friends, peak season means crowds. Think bustling souks, shoulder-to-shoulder in the Djemaa el-Fna (though Fez doesn't have one exactly like that, it's still busy!), and a vibrant energy that's both exhilarating and, let's be honest, sometimes a bit overwhelming.

The weather in spring can be glorious—sunshine, warm breezes—but also unpredictable. Those heatwaves can sneak up on you, so pack light clothing, a hat, and plenty of water. Hydration is key, my friends! Trust this seasoned guide.

Now, the Medina of Fez is a sensory explosion. Imagine the aromatic spices of the souks, the rhythmic clang of the blacksmiths, the melodic calls to prayer echoing from the many mosques. You’ll see intricate zellij tilework adorning buildings, hear the lively chatter of locals bargaining in Arabic, and perhaps even catch some gnawa music drifting from a hidden courtyard. Don’t be surprised by the curious stares – it’s simply the local way of showing interest.

Speaking of food, prepare your taste buds for a feast! Tagines, couscous, pastilla… the culinary delights of Morocco are endless. You might want to try a traditional Moroccan mint tea – it's both refreshing and a perfect accompaniment to the bustling atmosphere. Expect to pay around €10-€20 per person for a delicious meal at a local restaurant.

Regarding transportation, consider using a grand taxi (larger taxis) to navigate the medina, costing approximately €5-€10 per ride depending on the distance. Walking is also a great way to soak in the atmosphere, but be mindful of the crowds and potential heat. Remember to always be aware of your belongings.

As for cultural habits, be respectful of local customs. Dress modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is expected in the souks – it's all part of the fun! And don't be afraid to engage with the locals; many are incredibly welcoming and eager to share their stories and traditions.

A typical weekend trip might include a guided tour of the Medina (€30-€50 per person), a cooking class (€40-€60 per person), and several meals and taxi rides. For two couples, factor in accommodation costs (€100-€200 per night for a comfortable riad).

So, the estimated total cost for your whirlwind weekend in Fez for two couples, factoring in a reasonably comfortable experience could be around €1000-€1500. This is just an estimate and can fluctuate based on your choices. Remember, this doesn’t include flights.

And remember, friends, while the crowds can be intense, the beauty, culture, and energy of Fez are unmatched. Embrace the chaos, savour the moments, and create memories that will last a lifetime! Asante sana, and safe travels!
