Jambo, friends! Thinking of a whirlwind weekend in Fez's Medina during spring? Magnifique! But let's be realistic: spring in Fez means crowds and the potential for some serious heat. As your seasoned safari guide (with a penchant for souks!), I'll help you navigate this vibrant, bustling city while keeping your cool – and your wallets happy.

Picture this: the scent of spices hanging heavy in the air, the cacophony of a thousand conversations weaving a hypnotic rhythm, the sun beating down on terracotta rooftops. Expect temperatures hovering around 20-25°C (68-77°F), but be prepared for sudden bursts of warmth, especially midday. Carry water, wear light, loose clothing, and embrace the shade when you can. Sun hats are your new best friend!

Now, about those crowds. Fez’s Medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways teeming with life. Expect jostling, bartering, and a whole lot of sensory overload. But don't let it deter you! Embrace the energy, get lost (in a good way!), and let the vibrant chaos wash over you. The friendly banter between locals and the occasional exasperated sigh from a fellow tourist are all part of the experience.

Food, glorious food! Tagines, couscous, pastilla – oh my! Budget around €15-20 per person per meal for a delicious feast in a traditional restaurant. For street food, you can eat much cheaper, perhaps €5-10. Don't miss trying mint tea – it's the national drink and a perfect way to cool down.

Fez is a city of ancient architecture, a blend of Islamic and traditional Moroccan styles. The intricate tilework, soaring minarets, and stunning craftsmanship will leave you breathless. Don't forget to visit the Chouara Tannery – a truly unforgettable (and slightly pungent!) experience. Entrance is free, but you can choose to give a small tip.

Transportation within the Medina is primarily walking – get ready for some serious steps! A horse-drawn carriage could be a fun, if slightly touristy, option for a short distance – costing around €10-15 per carriage. Taxis are easily available just outside the Medina’s walls, costing around €5-10 for a short journey.

Regarding cultural habits, remember to dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered), and always ask before taking photos of people. Bargaining is expected in the souks; don't be afraid to haggle! The music you'll hear will range from traditional Gnawa music to modern pop – a rich and diverse soundscape reflecting the city's vibrant culture. You'll see plenty of cats roaming freely – they're considered sacred in some parts of Morocco. Expect to hear the calls to prayer from the mosques five times a day.

For two couples, a three-day/two-night trip including accommodation (€100 per night for a comfortable Riad – approximately €400 total), food (€300-400 total), activities and transport (€200-300 total), could cost between €900 and €1100 total.

Remember, these are estimates. The final cost will depend on your choices. But one thing's for sure: Fez will leave a lasting impression. Asante sana, and happy travels!
