Explore the Culture of Fez

Explore Fez el-Bali, one of the world’s largest living medieval cities, with a licensed local guide who helps you understand the medina beyond the surface. This cultural walk focuses on the story of Fez—its origins, religious and educational traditions, architecture, and the way daily life is organized inside a city built long before cars. Instead of rushing from one “must-see” to another, you’ll follow a coherent route that makes the medina feel logical: where people shop, where artisans work, how neighborhoods connect, and why certain streets and buildings matter.

The experience is flexible by design. You can keep it broad (first-time orientation + highlights) or go deeper into history, architecture, and local life. Your guide also shares practical guidance on etiquette, photography boundaries, and how to move comfortably through busy souk areas without stress.
