Overview
Why Choose This private free Tour?
As a researcher in History and Civilization, I blend academic expertise in Moroccan history with deep local insights. My background illuminates Fès Medina's dynastic evolution, architectural grandeur, and enduring role as a cultural crossroads. Me and my co-host shaymae and Marwan we unveil hidden narratives within its labyrinthine alleys by engaging storytelling, weaving history, folklore.
Iconic Landmarks:
Begin at Bab Boujloud, the Medina's iconic blue and green gateway. Discover exceptional architectural heritage showcasing intricate Islamic craftsmanship, including the 14th-century Medersa Attarine and Medersa Bouanania (20 Dh entrance fee).
Cultural Treasures:
Explore the Nejjarine Museum (Wooden Arts Museum, 20 Dh fee), pay homage at the Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum (sacred resting place of Fès' founder), and admire Al Quarawiyin University, a UNESCO-recognized site and the world's oldest continually operating educational institution.
Authentic Experiences:
Stroll bustling Talaa Street, witness centuries-old dyeing methods at Chouara/Sidi Moussa Tanneries, and engage artisans upholding heritage crafts in Copper Square's workshops.
