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.
A tour truly worth experiencing, covering a wide range of historical and archaeological sites. You also feel safe while enjoying the beauty of the ancient city. Our guide shared a wealth of historical and cultural information, as well as insights into traditional arts and crafts. He even provided us with helpful tips about traveling and recommended some great restaurants. Highly recommended!
Mahmoud was an excellent guide in Fes! He is very knowledgeable about the history, culture, religion, and art of the city, and he explains everything in a clear and engaging way. The tour was well organized, interesting, and full of beautiful spots. I truly appreciated his professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended if you want to discover Fes in an authentic way!
Really informative and fun tour that covers history, Art, but also much of current Moroccan social facts. We tried lots of small snacks, the best herbal tea and visited craft shops with no push but more educational, with opportunities to purchase souvenirs.
Mahmoud was an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and full of enthusiasm. During the 3.5 hour tour, he took us to many beautiful places and explained the history, culture, religion, art, architecture, and many interesting facts with great passion. You can truly feel his love for the city in every explanation. We enjoyed every single moment and highly recommend Mahmoud as a tour guide in Fez. Super consigliato!!!
Our guided tour of Fes Medina was a very enriching and well organised experience. The tour gave us a good overview of the city's history, culture, and daily life. Walking through the old medina, with its narrow streets, traditional shops, and busy souks, felt like stepping back in time. We appreciated learning about Moroccan art, culture, and traditions, especially the traditional crafts such as leatherwork, ceramics, wood carving, and zellige mosaic art, which are still produced using traditional methods. The architecture was impressive, and the explanations helped us better understand the cultural and historical significance of the sites we visited. The tour also covered local customs, religious practices, and family traditions, giving us a clearer understanding of how life in the medina has been preserved over generations. Everything felt authentic and informative rather than tourist-focused. Our guide Mahmod, was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the information clearly, answered our questions patiently, and managed the tour at a comfortable pace. Overall, this was a meaningful and educational experience. We would recommend this tour to visitors who are interested in understanding the true spirit of Morocco through its art, culture, and traditions.
