Quick Introduction to Fez
Average price for a bed: Hostels in Fez costs around $25 per night for a bed in a dorm. A private room has an average of around $39 per night. This is a rough average, just to give you an idea.
Prices always depend on the season and holidays. Please always check the exact rates on Hostelz.com or Hostelworld.com.
Check-In and Check-Out: The average check-in time is from 15:00 (3 pm), while the Check-Out time is before 11:00 (11 am). Hostels usually offer luggage storage in case you arrive earlier or leave later. Make sure you check if luggage storage is free or if there is an extra cost.
Dress modestly: It is important to dress modestly and respect the local culture and customs. To prevent unwanted attention, avoid wearing anything revealing. When entering mosques and other places of worship, women should dress extra conservatively. This can range from covering your hair to wearing long sleeves and pants.
Travel in groups: Pickpockets prey on people walking alone, so travel in groups. Traveling in a group can help you avoid theft and assault. Many female travelers, in turn, report harassment, ranging from catcalls to being followed. Women can avoid unwanted attention from local men by traveling in groups. At night, make sure to walk in groups.
Beware of scammers: It is common for local men to offer to show you around and then demand payment. Be aware that most “help” is never free and that refusing can result in harassment and stalking. To be safe, hire a reputable local tour guide or taxi through your hostel to ensure you are not taken advantage of.
