Explore the soul of Fes on a half-day walking tour designed for travelers who want a rich introduction without the length of a full-day program. Accompanied by a licensed local guide, you’ll dive into the UNESCO-listed Fes el-Bali medina, a fascinating maze of narrow alleys, lively souks, and centuries-old architecture where traditional crafts and everyday life are still part of the city’s rhythm.
This experience focuses on the most iconic highlights and hidden corners that are easy to miss without a guide. As you walk, your guide will share the history of Fes, explain local customs, and help you understand the city’s unique neighborhoods—passing artisan workshops, spice and textile stalls, and beautiful architectural details tucked behind modest doorways.
Depending on timing and monument openings, your route may include key stops such as the Nejjarine Fountain, historic streets of the medina, traditional markets, and a panoramic viewpoint at the Chouara Tannery terraces to see the famous leather-dyeing vats from above. The tour can be adapted to your interests—history, architecture, crafts, photography, or shopping—while keeping a comfortable walking pace.
