Walk Through the Historic Medina of Fez
Meet your tour guide at a pre-decided location at 9:30 AM.
Begin your tour through the old Medina of Fez as you stroll through its narrow streets. Admire markets lined with fresh fruit, mounds of spices, and intricately woven Berber carpets.
Admire the Quaraouyine Mosque, founded in 859 by Fatima el Fihri and now functioning as an Islamic university. Then, visit the nearby Andalusian Mosque.

Explore the 19th-century Batha Palace, which was converted into a museum of historical arts and crafts in 1915 and now houses a collection of over 6,500 objects.
Visit the Chouwara Tanneries to see how leather is processed and dyed. Also make your way to Souk Attarine, one of the liveliest markets in the city, before seeing the magnificent Bab Boujloud gate.
After lunch, walk by the city's ramparts, seeing the Jewish quarter Mellah and the 17th-century Ibn Danan synagogue.
Conclude your visit in Borj with a stunning panoramic view of the Old Medina at sunset.
