About Guided tour of the historic medina of Fez

Fez el-Bali is a living medieval city: thousands of alleys where homes, mosques, markets and workshops sit side by side. It is easy to get lost, which is why a guided tour makes so much more of it.

A local guide helps you find your way, understand the city's history and discover corners that are easy to miss, from madrasa courtyards to artisans' workshops.

Places usually visited

  • The tanneries, from a nearby terrace.

  • The Bou Inania or Al-Attarine madrasa.

  • The artisans' souks: copper, leather, textiles.

  • The Bab Bou Jeloud gate.

Practical information

  • Comfortable shoes: there are slopes and uneven ground.

  • Some monuments close on certain days or at prayer times.

  • The exact route adapts to the time available. Availability, length, price and conditions are confirmed when you request a quote.
