About This Guide

Morocco is a Muslim-majority country, so Fez has no Christmas markets or public celebrations, and decorations are minimal, though some riads put up a tree. What December offers is a cool, quiet time to explore the medina, madrasas and souks without the summer heat. Days are mild, nights are cold, and it can rain.

Where to stay

  • Fes el-Bali (the old medina): Riads inside the walled city put you next to the madrasas and souks, though lanes are pedestrian-only and stone riads can be cold, so check heating.
  • Fes el-Jdid: The 13th-century quarter by the Royal Palace and the Mellah, a quieter, more open area at the edge of the old medina.
  • Ville Nouvelle: The modern new town with wide streets, cafés, restaurants and easier taxi access, a short ride from the medina gates.

December weather

December highs average about 17°C (63°F) and lows about 5°C (41°F), with roughly 62 mm of rain and mist in the medina in the mornings.

How we picked: the 7 hotels in this guide are 4- and 5-star hotels and resorts in Fez with the strongest Booking.com guest scores, weighted by how many reviews they have. Scores and review counts were checked in October 2026.

Mild days of around 17°C and cold nights near 5°C. There is some rain, and mornings can be misty, so bring layers and a waterproof.
