Getting there

Walking

If you are starting from the Bou Inania Madrasa, head south on Rue Bou Inania. Continue straight until you reach Place Seffarine, where you will see a large fountain. From there, turn right onto Rue Seffarine and continue walking until you reach the intersection with Rue Talaa Kebira. Turn left onto Talaa Kebira, and walk for about 10 minutes until you reach the junction with Rue Talaa Sghira. At this junction, turn right, and continue straight. After about 15 minutes, you will see a sign indicating the Marinid Tombs to your left. Follow the path leading to the tombs, and you will arrive at your destination.

Taxi

If you prefer to take a taxi, find a taxi stand near your location or ask your hotel to arrange one for you. Inform the driver that you want to go to the Marinid Tombs (Cimetiere Marinide). The taxi will take you as close as possible to the site. Once the taxi drops you off, you may need to walk a short distance uphill to reach the entrance of the tombs.

Public Transport

From the Fes train station, take a local bus (Bus number 16) heading towards the Medina. Get off at the Bab Boujloud stop. From there, walk towards the Medina's entrance and follow the signs leading towards the Marinid Tombs. It will take you approximately 30 minutes of walking through the narrow streets of the Medina, but you will enjoy the local atmosphere. Look for signs or ask locals for directions if needed.
