Funky Walking Tour : 15 of The Best Things to Do in Fez, Morocco

   The Funky Walking Tour is not a shopping tour — it is 90% historical and cultural.

     Here are the most important places we will visit during our tour in the Old Medina of Fez: 

- Panoramic view of the Old City.  

- Andalusian Mosque.  

- Chouara Tannery: One of the three most famous tanneries in Fez.  

-Al-Qarawiyyin University: The oldest university in the world.  

-The Astronomical Observatory: Once used to observe the stars, it now serves different purposes — which I will explain during the tour.  

-Fandouk: A traditional inn where merchant caravans used to stop and rest.  

-Place Seffarine: Still active today, home to one of the oldest crafts in Fez — copper work.  

-The Oldest Library in Morocco: We will see it from the outside, as it requires special permission to enter.  

-Dyers' Market: Where old clothes, wool, and plant-based silk are still dyed using traditional methods.  

-Moroccan Pastry Market. 

-Blacksmiths' Market.

-Traditional Moroccan Wedding Accessories Market 

-Moulay Idriss II Shrine: The founder of Fez.  

-Visit to the oldest hospital (Maristan Sidi Fradj), a multi-disciplinary center, known especially for using music therapy to treat mental health conditions. 

-(Optional) Visit to a local cooperative that produces the famous Argan oil. 

     At the end of the tour, I will take you to the local food market for lunch or to a restaurant with a terrace and Wi-Fi — depending on your preference. 

      I am a licensed official tour guide in Fez, and I will do my best to leave you with a great impression and unforgettable memories of our tour in the largest maze in the world — the city of Fez.
