Sidi Harazem Thermal Springs is a thermal spa complex in the village of Sidi Harazem, about 15 km east of Fes along the road toward Taza, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The setting is a spring-fed resort in a small valley, where naturally warm mineral water emerges and feeds bathing pools and bath houses. The site is also known across Morocco for its bottled mineral water, which carries the Sidi Harazem name. The atmosphere is that of a family-oriented, domestic spa destination rather than a luxury retreat: visitors, many of them from Fes, come for the day, and the grounds have a relaxed, slightly dated public-resort character. The listed offerings are thermal spring baths and a thermal pool. The warm mineral water is traditionally used for rheumatic and skin complaints, and the baths are the main reason for a visit; individual or family bath cabins are the traditional format, and the pool allows social bathing. Prices run from about MAD 50 to MAD 300 per treatment, making this one of the cheapest spa experiences in the Fes area, and a visit usually fills a half-day. Therapeutic claims should be treated cautiously, as visitors seeking medical benefit should consult a doctor. Facilities listed are the thermal baths and pool; further amenities such as a cafe or gardens may exist but should be confirmed locally. Booking norms are informal, with walk-ins the usual practice and prices depending on the type of bath or cabin chosen. Visitors should confirm opening times, the state of the facilities and whether the pool operates on the day, as maintenance and seasonal closures can occur. Reaching the site requires a taxi or private transport from Fes, and many visitors arrange a return taxi for the day. Swimwear is required in the pool, and visitors should bring a towel and flip-flops.
