Hello! My name is Mahmoud, and I am an official tour guide in Fes with a deep passion for history, culture, and architecture. I hold a Bachelor's degree in History and Civilization, and I have spent years researching the rich heritage of Morocco, especially the fascinating stories behind the old medina of Fes. I have also published several articles on topics such as Economic theories, the Meiji Ishin, and from Zaibatsu to Keiretsu.
I love sharing authentic local experiences and helping visitors discover hidden gems that many travelers miss. I've also enjoyed exploring other historic cities like Marrakech, Chefchaouen, and Granada. In my free time, I enjoy reading books that connect Morocco's history with broader civilizations, especially "The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain" by María Rosa Menocal, a work that inspires my storytelling and deepens my appreciation of Morocco's cultural and spiritual legacy.
An amazing experience. Mahmoud was truly professional and delivered an exceptional tour in terms of organization and the quality of historical information about the places and monuments we visited. His storytelling style, enriched with a great sense of humor, kept everyone engaged and enthusiastic throughout the tour. We also had the opportunity to see traditional leather tanning, embroidery art, and wool dyeing. At every stop, Mahmoud was attentive and close to the group, and we never felt any pressure, which meant a lot to us. This tour is highly recommended!!!
Had the best time on today's tour with Mahmoud, he showed us around and took us to all the right spots. We truly felt like we were hanging out with a friend rather than a tour guide. The tour was more than just artistic; it helped us deeply understand the history, traditions, culture, and religion of Fes. I highly recommend Mahmoud to anyone visiting Fes it's exactly the kind of experience you want.
We had an amazing time exploring the Fes Medina with Mahmoud! He is incredibly knowledgeable, very educated, and genuinely passionate about his city. Mahmoud took us to hidden spots we would've never found on our own and introduced us to the beautiful local crafts, including the art of embroidery, leatherwork, and wood carving. He made the tour engaging, well organized, and truly insightful. He recently started on GuruWalk, and he absolutely deserves more bookings because he is exactly the kind of local guide you need to understand Fes deeply. Friendly, professional, and informative booking Mahmoud is the right choice.
