Tour description


The Medina of Fez preserves, in an ancient part comprising numerous monumental buildings, the memory of the capital founded by the Idrisid dynasty between 789 and 808 A.D. The original town was comprised of two large fortified quarters separated by the Fez wadi: the banks of the Andalous and those of the Kaïrouanais. In this tour, we're going to:
Travel 1200 years back in time. Explore the largest labyrinth in the world. Watch the coppersmiths at work at Seffarine, a square from the Middle Ages. Stop outside the oldest continually operating university in the world. Take photos of the magnificent Moulay Idriss Mausoleum. Visit the famous Chowara Tannery, the largest and oldest in the city. Walk through the colourful, fabrics dyers market. Learn about the influence of culture on the design of our houses. Find out the secrets behind every corner of this Unisco World Heritage Site.

Learned a lot - many places where they were selling you on something. I get that happens but this was more than the tours I have taken in the past

Abdul was very knowledgeable. Needed to stay close as can easily get lost in the crowd. Surprised how big Fes was, especially the Medina and it's depth in history.
