What to see, what to do…
Leave the beautiful medina in order to see other marvels in the vicinity or to practice a sport in the fine weather.
Sport
A magnificent golf course was created at the foot of the Atlas mountains in 1994. The Royal Golf Club of Fès is a very enjoyable course designed by the architect Cabell B. Robinson who also designed several other renowned golf courses in Morocco. Situated in a beautiful olive grove, golfers encounter lakes and gigantic bunkers; the largest covers 1200m²! Fès has a variety of horsemanship activities which you can practice according to your level and taste. You could opt for a relaxed ride on a quiet horse or opt for something more technical such as dressage. You could also choose to go on a horse trek lasting several days. Try one taking in Meknès and Volubilis. Tennis is also very popular. The Grand Prix of HRH Princess Lalla Meryem attracts famous players each year in May.

Volubilis, situated 73km west of Fès, is the most important antique site in Morocco. It is a large Roman town with superb mosaics and many buildings (triumphal arch, press-house, capitol...) which has been designated as a Unesco World Heritage of Humanity Site.
