Walking into the medina of Fez feels like stepping into a place where time moves differently. Narrow streets, traditional crafts, and constant activity shape a very distinct atmosphere.
With a guide, you will explore Fez el-Bali, one of the oldest and largest medinas in the world. At first, it can seem confusing, but as you move through it, the layout starts to make more sense.
Along the way, you will come across places like the madrasas, known for their intricate design, and see from the outside the Al Quaraouiyine University, an important historical reference in the city.
The route also takes you through the souks, where each area is linked to a specific craft. This is where the experience becomes more vivid, especially at the Chouara tanneries, one of Fez’s most iconic spots.
Beyond the landmarks, what really stands out is the chance to observe everyday life in the medina, where tradition and daily activity are still very present.
