Why You’ll Love This Day Trip

Step into one of the world’s largest and oldest walled cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where time seems frozen. This guided walk takes you deep into the beating heart of Fez — where every alley holds a story, every artisan a legacy.

Wander the Walled Labyrinth

Begin at Bab Boujloud, the Blue Gate, and walk down Talaa Kebira, the medina’s main artery. Pass herbalists, calligraphers, spice vendors, and fabric dyers. Your guide will reveal centuries of culture in every turn.


Sacred & Scholarly Sites

View the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University (859 AD), the oldest existing and continually operating higher educational institution in the world. Explore the Al-Attarine and Bou Inania madrasas, marvels of Islamic architecture, and visit the Nejjarine Museum, dedicated to Moroccan woodcraft.


Artisan Quarters & Tanneries

See the medina’s traditional workshops — from copper work at Seffarine Square to the mesmerizing Chouara Tanneries, where leather is dyed using centuries-old techniques. Watch from above as vats of color form a living mosaic.


Optional Afternoon (Full-Day Tour)

Extend your visit beyond the medina. See the Royal Palace gates, walk through the Jewish Mellah, visit a mosaic & pottery workshop, and climb to Borj Nord or the Merenid Tombs for a panoramic view of Fez.
