A beautiful run-down palace. Unfortunately, it has infrequent opening times, so dont count on it being accessible.
Dar Glaoui or Glaoui Palace is a late 19th-century and early 20th-century palace in Fez, Morocco. It was owned by the Glaoui family, whose most famous members were the Grand Vizier Madani and his brother Thami, pasha of Marrakech. The palace is located in the southwestern district of Fes el-Bali, in an area containing other historic mansions.

A former royal palace, commissioned by the Alaouite Sultan Hassan I and his successor Abdelaziz in the 19th century. It was converted into a museum in 1916. It houses exhibitions mainly about local craftsmanship and has a very nice garden.
A breathtaking 14th-century religious college. The best example of Islamic architecture a non-Muslim can see in Fez, with wooden walls elaborately carved with geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy, and a beautiful minaret. In the courtyard there is a portico with a still-functioning mosque, separated by the rest of the courtyard by a small moat.
Funduq al-Najjariyyin
Museum of wooden arts and crafts. Many historic items presented in beautiful and spacious Fondouk. The museum has a nice rooftop cafe.
The tomb of Fez's founder. Entrance is limited to Muslims, but the view from just outside its doors is still well-worth hunting down.
The oldest garden in Fes, created by Sultan Moulay Abdallah in 18th century. It features 3000 plant species, some of them are quite rare.
Al-Karaouine
A large religious complex that has evolved since the 9th century into a famous center of learning. Non-Muslims cannot enter, but the courtyard and the prayer hall are partly visible from the mosque's doorways. (Doors are more likely to be open on Fridays.) Its historic library is housed in an annex on the south side of the mosque, off Place Seffarine.
