Hi and a big welcome to the largest Medina in the world. My name is Abdou. I was born and raised in Fes, Morocco. I'm an authorised and qualified tour guide. I also hold an M.A. degree in English, which is very crucial to pass the information to my guests with great fluency and ease. Fes is a mysterious and fascinating city with a lot of hidden secrets; and I'm very passionate about sharing these secrets and events with my guests. I not only have a broad knowledge of Fes history, traditions and culture, but I have also designed a tour whereby my guests will be involved in sharing these values with locals; which they wouldn't be able to do if they were on their own. I take tourists through the back and very narrow twisting alleyways which are not listed in GPSs and Maps. In this tour, you will discover the gems of Fes and find out the incidents and events that took place in every corner.

As a tour guide, I am passionate about showcasing the beauty, culture, and history of the destinations I introduce to my guests. My tours are designed to be more than just informative; they are crafted to be immersive and engaging, providing an experience that leaves a lasting impression. I take pride in my storytelling, combining historical facts, local legends, and personal anecdotes to create a vivid picture of each place. With extensive knowledge of the regions I explore, I guide guests through everything from the energetic streets of cities to the peaceful landscapes of nature, and the fascinating stories of historical landmarks. My aim is to help every guest feel a deep connection to the place, offering insights that allow them to appreciate the depth of the local culture and history. I am attentive to the unique interests and preferences of my guests, customizing each tour to ensure it meets their desires, whether they are seeking a calm, leisurely experience or a more adventurous journey. My goal is to provide a unique and memorable experience that inspires my guests to continue exploring and discovering new places.

I am Samir Mhella as a tour guide after having experiences in tourism 20 years ago. I know I'm not just selling the sights and sounds of a place, you're selling the entire package. That includes extensive knowledge about the area that most simply don't have. Naturally, I expected to retain a large amount of information and be able to recall it with absolute ease. Ultimately, you should be able to know your script so well that it flows naturally, like one friend telling a story to another, rather than someone working on a script. That's the kind of talent that only comes with a fantastic memory.
