What you can expect

Get picked up from your hotel by your guide mid-morning for a full-day exploration of the Fes medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour begins with a walking exploration through the labyrinthine streets of the medina, the largest pedestrian zone in the world. Your first stop is the Place Seffarine to observe traditional metalworkers crafting with copper, brass, and pewter.

As you wind through the medina's alleys, you'll visit the world-renowned tanneries and Al Quarawiyyine University, the oldest in the world, which has been beautifully restored. Highlights include the bustling Attarine souk, the intricately decorated Medersa, Nejjarine square with its exquisite mosaic and public fountain, and the carpentry museum housed in a historic caravanserai.

The tour continues by air-conditioned car to the ancient city walls of Fez, where you will explore the old ramparts and picturesque gates leading to the South Tower for a stunning panoramic view of the old town. Next, visit a ceramics factory to see artisans at work, creating traditional blue and white Fassi pottery along with other colorful designs.

Conclude your day with a visit to the majestic Dar El Makhzen, the royal palace of Fez, noted for its seven massive bronze doors, and a short drive to the impressive Bab Boujloud, the main gate of the medina decorated in blue for Fez and green for Islam. Your tour ends with a drop-off at your accommodation, bringing a close to a day rich in culture and history.
