About this experience
Café Clock is a beloved cultural institution and social enterprise in Fes, known for its relaxed rooftop terrace, creative Moroccan-fusion cuisine, and weekly cultural events. Located in the heart of the medina, the cafe is famous for its camel burger - surprisingly tender, low in cholesterol, and a must-try for adventurous eaters. Beyond food, Café Clock runs cooking classes (including Moroccan pastry classes), storytelling evenings, live Gnawa music performances, Arabic language exchange tables, calligraphy workshops, and henna evenings all week. The views from the rooftop terrace across the medina at sunset are spectacular. The cafe supports local youth through employment and training programs. They serve excellent mint tea, fresh juices, vegetarian/vegan options, and traditional Moroccan dishes like tagine and couscous. Friday couscous is a local institution. The relaxed, welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to decompress after navigating the intense medina. It's also a great place to meet other travelers and connect with locals in a comfortable setting. The cafe's social mission includes funding community projects and preserving Moroccan cultural heritage[citation:7][citation:8].
