Overview of your Fes tour

Explore the cultural and spiritual center of Morocco during this full day tour of Fes. Also known as Fes el Bali, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was founded in the 9th century, and is home to the world's oldest university. The city of Fes reached its true economic and cultural height in the 13th-14th centuries under the Merinids, when it replaced Marrakech as the capital of the kingdom. Although the political capital of Morocco was transferred to Rabat in 1912, Fes has retained its status as the country's Artisan centre. Artisan workshops in the medina are as active today as they were 100 years ago, and strongly contribute to the city's industrial economy. Trades such as blacksmithing, leather working, ceramics, silk, tapestries, and sculpting are still practiced in these workshops today. The original ramparts still protect this ancient city and its estimated 9000 narrow passageways and bustling streets.

Had a great time! Hatim was awesome!!! He took us to places and explained them as a local, a tour guide, and as a Muslim. Very inciteful. Every place he took us in the medina to view a demonstration (pottery, leather, etc.) was informative....but never a hard sell. Yes the artisans are looking for a sale....but it was never pushed...and he made sure we didn't feel that way. Hatim also went out of his way to help us find a few things on our shopping list. So accommodating, helpful, and friendly....definitely book with Hatim!

What made the tour stand out was how personal it felt. He grew up in the Medina, so you’re not just getting a tour, you’re getting real insight into how people actually live there. He took us beyond just the main paths and showed us different parts of Fez, which made it feel much more authentic. He also brought us to a great local lunch spot we never would have found on our own. We learned a lot about the city, its history, and the people - couldn’t recommend this experience more!

Hatim is outstanding! Highly recommended. In fact, the manager at our hotel has asked for his contact information for future guests. Arrived in advance of our tour. His fluency in English is outstanding. Born in the Medina; raised in the Medina; University in Fes; student of the history and architecture of the city. We are so pleased with the day that we are doing a different tour with Hatim tomorrow.

Hatim was totally fantastic. For a day and a half in Fes, he provided a very full and detailed description of what he was showing us, and also the religious/historical importance it played in Fes' history. As a photographer, I was most interested in having a local person help me navigate to the various viewpoints to see the Chouara Tannery, which is almost a thousand years old. We went the first time in the afternoon of our first day, then in the morning of our second day. The images I was able to capture were exactly a I had hoped. I would not think there is any way of obtaining that level of access without a guide who grew up in the medina. Highly, highly recommend.

Hatim was the perfect mix of professionalism and warmth. He was very knowledgeable and equally kind. We learned so much about Fez and their people and we give Hatim our highest recommendation ❤️
