Getting Around Fes


Taking a Petit-taxi is definitely the way to go around Fes, if you don't feel like walking. Petit-taxi's are little red Fiats that you simply flag down on the street. Every petit-taxi should have a meter and the drivers are generally very good about using them. If your driver refuses, or the meter is "broken", flag down a different taxi or negotiate a fare if you have an idea of what's reasonable. If you have some luggage it will be thrown on the roof rack; don't worry, it doesn't fall out. Note that no taxi or vehicle can enter Fes el-Bali (old Fes). There you have to rely on your own two feet, and if you have luggage you need to rent a guy with a cart to help you get it to your hotel. Ask your hotel owner to either meet you at the appropriate gate of the medina, or to give you some good directions which you can pass on to your guy with the cart.
