What to expect

Experience a private guided tour of the ancient Medina in Fez, immersively exploring the history and culture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your journey begins at Bab Boujloud, the majestic "Blue Gate", or alternatively the Royal Gate of the Palace if starting from the Jewish quarter. Here, your expert guide will introduce you to the medina's history, dating back to the 9th century, and explain the intricacies of its urban organisation based on trades and communities.

As you delve into the heart of Fez's spiritual and architectural splendour, visit iconic landmarks such as Al Attarine Madrasa. Take in the grandeur of the golden gates of Fez's Royal Palace, a true masterpiece of design. The tour also includes visits to Koranic schools like Bou Inania or Al-Attarine Madrasas - exemplars of Islamic architecture with their zellige tiles, carved cedar wood, and sculpted plasterwork. You'll also experience an exterior view of Al Quaraouiyine Mosque and University, reputedly the world's oldest continuously operating university, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II.

Your exploration extends to transformed former caravanserais like Fondouk Nejjarine, which now houses the Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts. Uncover traditional handicraft-making in artisan workshops and navigate through bustling souks for handmade treasures.
