5 Hours Guided Walking Tour in Old Medina Fez

Meet your guide at your hotel to begin your walking tour. As you make your way through the winding stone streets of the medina, pass historic sites like the Quaraouiyine Mosque, founded in 859 by Fatima Al-Fihri along with the world’s oldest continuously operating university. See the elegant Nejjarine Fountain and the Batha Palace, now a museum of arts and culture, with its peaceful Andalucian garden. Take a peek at the dye pits of the pungent Chaouwara Tanneries. Continue with a visit to Souk Attarine, where you find pyramids of colorful spices, Berber carpets, leather goods, and other treats like homemade orange blossom water. Visit Bab Boujloud, a massive triple-arched city gate decorated with geometric motifs in blue tile. When your tour draws to a close, your guide walks you back to your accommodations.
