2 Best Nightlife in Fez and the Middle Atlas, Morocco

This Art Deco–influenced bar attracts sophisticated locals and visitors as much for the medina views as the creative cocktails. While you're perched atop the hotel Palais Faraj Suites & Spa, with sweeping vistas on three sides, you can sample a well-crafted cocktail, a glass of fine local wine, or beer from a comfortable couch. The intimate spot also hosts live music, and a large alfresco terrace overlooks the jumble of medina rooftops.  Get there for sunset to watch the old city turn to gold.

At the top of stylish Hotel Sahrai, the equally chic Jungle Bar draws a sophisticated crowd to an indoor-outdoor space decked out in tones of green and gold, with rich fabrics, tropical prints, and ambient lighting. It regularly hosts DJs, but the real star of the show is the view over the old city. There are plenty of luxurious alfresco daybeds to lounge on, so grab a creative cocktail and a front-row seat and watch the sun set as the medina fills with twinkling lights.
