The Most FES-cinating English Tour

Duration: 3h
Languages: English
Quality Verified Registered on March 01, 2020

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.

Tour description

Jump with me into a time machine and travel 1200 years back in History. My name is Abdou Rahim. I was born and grew up in the historical car-free medina of Fes. I'm a Professional Tour Guide (licensed by the Ministry of Tourism). I love to show tourists our historical sights and attractions, but most of all, l love to tell them why they are important, to relate relevant stories and events to these sights. I like to capture their attention and make them feel as though they are part of the story. l have met tourists from all parts of the world , which helped me understand their cultures, traditions, and customs. It taught me how to deal with them with courtesy and respect.
During this tour, we're going to stop by the famous historical sites of Fes such as:
Al Quaraouiyine Mosque and University ( from outside)
Sidi Moussa  or chouara leather Tannery
Al-Attarine Madrasa (from outside)
 Place Seffarine
Fabrics Dyers square
Moulay Idriss Mausoleum
Kifah kissariya
Al Attarine Stree
 
The tour will end at the main road leading to the Blue Gate. (Talaa Kbira)
Equipped with a fluency in English, a good knowledge of history and a fair sense of humour, your FES tour with me will be FEScinating.

Our guide gave us headsets so we can hear him speaking more easily in crowded Medina. It made a huge difference! He explained many symbols on our way through tiny streets adding extra value to just visiting sites. He's English is very good and clear. Very good tour!

We really enjoyed the Fez Medina walk with Rahim. He was quick to make the group feel comfortable. He has a great sense of humour, a friendly manner and is very knowledgeable. The tour is fast-paced, so we learned a lot and saw a lot. The earphones were a great benefit when the medina got loud. The walk was a great introduction to the medina, giving us ideas about where we’d like to return. Highly recommended.

100000% recommend this guru and this tour. We never would have been able to learn and see so much if it weren’t for Abderrahime. It was very funny, educational, and takes you outside of typical tourist spots. He also provides earphones so he doesn’t have to shout and everyone can hear him clearly. I recommend you take his tour as soon as you get to Fez as his tour also helps you understand and navigate the Medina so you are less likely to get lost when exploring on your own. Thank you so much!

Providing headphones made it possible to listen to the guide's commentary at all times, even while navigating the bustling crowds of the medina. The guide's wonderful sense of humor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the walking tour.
