Hands on Fez Tours

This Hands on Tours is dedicated to explore the spiritual and cultural capital of the Kingdom. Fes is the religious, artistic and intellectual center of Morocco as well as the oldest and most famous of the imperial cities. Tour the huge Medina «Fes el-Bali» with us and visit the main attractions! You will meet your guide in front of your Riad or Hotel. We start the day at Bab Boujloud, one of the gates which lead into the Medina. In the morning we will visit some of the beautiful ancient buildings like the Medersas of Bou Inania and El-Attarine (Koran schools for religious studies) and the University and Mosque of Karaouine. Visit the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts and Crafts and discover traditional tools, carpets, furniture and musical instruments in a beautifully restaurated caravanserai. After lunchbreak in one of the hunderts of restaurants in the medina, we continue our tour to the famous tanneries, where the leather is processed still the same as hunderts of years ago. You can observe the workers from a lookout and they will be glad to explain you the different workings steps if you are willing to bargain for a bag or new belt afterwards. But be aware of the bad smelling of the furs and coloring goods! Outside the medina lies the Royal Palace with its large plaza lined with palm trees. Last but not least we will drive up a hill to the cementary Bab Fettouh, where we’ll enjoy the panoramic view over the white sea of houses of the Medina.
