Highlights

Explore the Fes medina with a private guide. The medina has been little changed by the centuries, and is still only accessible to foot and donkey traffic. Step back in time to immerse yourself into the culture and heritage of Morocco, learning not only the what but also the why of Moroccan traditions.

Itinerary

  • Medina of Fez

    6 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Tour Fes with a private guide. (Walking tour with some transportation between sites.) Begin at the royal palace, with its seven golden doors, and learn about the significance of the intricate decor. Stroll through the Mellah, or Jewish quarter, which was built next to the palace to offer protection. Take in the view of the city from Borj Sud, a former fortress and one of the lookouts on a hill where you can see all of Fes laid out, allowing you to spot landmarks otherwise hidden by the skyline-obscuring buildings. Visit a pottery co-op to see how they make the unique Fes pottery, as well as handcrafting the intricate mosaics adorning half of Morocco. Head into the ancient medina and step into a sort of living museum. The Fes medina is very much a local community that lives and works and goes about daily life in the medina, so be sure to keep moving and watch out for the donkeys! Stop by the Al-Quaraouiyine University, the oldest degree-granting university still in operation, having been founded in 859CE by a woman. Visit handicraft workshops, where you will see why Fes is considered the handicraft capital of Morocco. This can include, among other things, the silk weavers, where beautifully colorful fabrics are woven from silk fibers of the agave plant; and the famous Fes tannery, where they process all manner of animal hides by hand, much as they have for nearly 1,000 years. During your tour of the medina, you will stop for lunch in a restaurant that would be very easy to walk right past, but is truly a hidden gem. Lunch included.
