The tour highlights Fez’s historic Medina, including a visit to Bab Boujloud, known for its green and blue ceramic tiles.

Stops include panoramic viewpoints at the Merindes Tops and Borj North and South, plus a visit to a local ceramic factory. The walking tour lasts about four hours and includes visits to key landmarks such as Bou Inania Medersa, a 14th-century religious school with an admission fee, and the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts and Crafts housed in a former funduq, also requiring admission. The route covers the Medina’s maze of streets, bustling souks, and artisan workshops, with time to see the Quaraouiyine Mosque, Andalusian Mosque, and the Zaouia of Moulay Idriss II shrine (viewed from outside, as entry is limited). You will witness the traditional tanning process at Chouara Tannery, one of the oldest tanneries in Fez. The tour also visits the Al-Attarine Madrasa, a peaceful religious school dating to 1325, and the Sidi Ahmed Al-Tijani Zawiya, a Sufi shrine where entry may be restricted.
