Hello! My name is Hamza, and I am an official guide in the beautiful city of Fez. With a passion for history and culture, I have dedicated myself to sharing the rich heritage of Fez with visitors from all around the world. In addition to guiding, I have a keen interest in photography and local cuisine. I love capturing the vibrant essence of Moroccan life through my camera lens and exploring new culinary delights in the bustling markets. One of my favorite places that I have traveled to is Istanbul, Turkey. The city's blend of East and West, its stunning architecture, and its historical significance left a lasting impression on me. I look forward to welcoming you to Fez and helping you discover the wonders of this incredible city!

Tour description

Imagine walking through ancient medinas, where every step evokes centuries of history. Welcome to Fez, where the past blends harmoniously with the present.

As an official GuruWalk guide, I invite you to join me on a fascinating tour of this UNESCO World Heritage city. We'll start our tour at the BAB MADINA hotel, one of the main entrances to the old medina. I'll be waiting for you there with a sign saying "Your GuruWalk guide" and your name so that you can easily recognise them.

Our adventure begins in Fez el-Bali, the largest pedestrianised urban area in the world. We'll explore narrow streets full of life, colour and tradition, from historic sites such as the Nejjarine Museum, Al Attarine Madrasa and Al Quaraouiyine Mosque, to bustling souks such as the Henna Souk and Al Attarine Street.

You can admire monuments such as the tanneries, the Andalusian mosque and the traditional Berber carpet shops, as well as enjoying the tranquil charm of places such as Place Seffarine, Talaa Kebira and the gardens of Jnan Sbil. Along the way, I'll share local anecdotes, historical information and practical tips on Moroccan life and culture.

📍Additional costs: Some optional monuments (such as museums and madrasas) may have a small entrance fee of around €2 per person. The guide will give you the option of entering and paying, or enjoying the explanation from the outside, whichever you prefer.

At the end of our tour, we will return to the same meeting point, offering you guidance and comfort.

💡I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and carrying water, especially in hot weather.

Let's discover the soul of Fez together!

En tant que guide officiel de GuruWalk, je vous invite à vous joindre à moi pour une visite fascinante de cette ville classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Nous commencerons notre visite à l'hôtel BAB MADINA, l'une des principales entrées de l'ancienne médina. Je vous y attendrai avec un panneau indiquant "Votre guide GuruWalk" et votre nom afin que vous puissiez facilement les reconnaître.

Notre aventure commence à Fès el-Bali, la plus grande zone urbaine piétonne du monde. Nous explorerons des ruelles étroites pleines de vie, de couleurs et de traditions, des sites historiques tels que le musée Nejjarine, la madrasa Al Attarine et la mosquée Al Quaraouiyine, aux souks animés tels que le souk du henné et la rue Al Attarine.

Vous pourrez admirer des monuments tels que les tanneries, la mosquée andalouse et les magasins de tapis berbères traditionnels, mais aussi apprécier le charme tranquille de lieux tels que la place Seffarine, Talaa Kebira et les jardins de Jnan Sbil. Tout au long de la promenade, je partagerai avec vous des anecdotes locales, des informations historiques et des conseils pratiques sur la vie et la culture marocaines.

📍Coûts supplémentaires : Certains monuments optionnels (tels que les musées et les madrasas) peuvent avoir un petit droit d'entrée, d'environ 2 € par personne. Le guide vous donnera la possibilité d'entrer et de payer, ou de profiter de l'explication de l'extérieur, selon votre préférence.

À la fin de notre visite, nous reviendrons au même point de rencontre, en vous offrant guidage et confort.

💡Je recommande de porter des chaussures confortables et d'emporter de l'eau, surtout par temps chaud.
