What to expect
After a pick-up at your hotel or riad in Fez, head out on a guided tour of the Medina, one of the world’s largest walled-in cities.
Explore the narrow streets lined with shops selling fresh fruits, spices, intricately woven Berber carpets and numerous other art and craft items from Morocco.
Visit the Quaraouiyine Mosque, founded in 859 by Fatima el Fihri and the Andalusian Mosque dating back to 860 (note that non-Muslims are not permitted to enter). Take in other sites including the Nejjarine Fountain, the Bouaanania Medersa, dating from the 13th century and the Batha Palace, which is now a museum of arts and traditions.
Finally, the tour will include visits to artisan cooperatives showcasing traditional crafts (which are a key part of Fassi and Moroccan culture), these are not commercial shops —feel free to observe, learn, and decline politely any demands if occurred.
