I was born and grew up in the medieval city of Fes surrounded by so many historic and ancient monuments. Time seems to have stopped here and you would feel really as if you are back into the middle ages strolling down the narrow streets of this old city while donkeys and mules are passing by. These animals are still one of the main tools for transporting goods in this ancient city. It's the biggest urban car free zone in the world, with 9500 narrow alleyways that are filled with markets, mosques, fountains, monuments etc. This ancient city is considered as the biggest museum in the world. I have been blessed with the opportunity to study and live in the US for many years which has helped me adopt a new culture and see the world from another angle. Although I studied computer programming in America, I kept organizing tours and giving lectures about Arabic culture, Islam and Moroccan history. I went to school here in Fes and graduated with a B. A. in English literature from the university of Fes. I am fully convinced now that traveling and discovering other countries does not only reduce stress and keeps your body healthy inside and out but also is the best way to bridge the gaps between the different cultures in the world and the ideal way to enrich your personality. I have been working in the tourism industry in Morocco for the last 22 years and I will be happy to share this experience and knowledge with our valued visitors. Most of that time has been spent guiding travelers, helping them to experience our Moroccan lifestyle, culture, customs and hopefully changing their perceptions of Morocco and the Arab world. My recognised ability to communicate with people from many different backgrounds, cultures and countries has enabled me to lead both lecture and tour groups with great success and acclaim. Currently my objective is to play a more significant role in promoting the Moroccan culture, food, history, music and so much more specifically through tourism, by utilising my vast experience and knowledge. I am offering travelers a unique and exclusive glimpse of my Country, accompanied by me as their personal tour guide here in Morocco. Being flexible, having fun and making sure that my travelers get the most from their vacation is my primary focus and goal. I am an active licensed professional tour guide and pride myself on my ability to add personal touches to every tour I conduct. It is extremely important to me that my guests return home with experiences to remember. B.A. in English literature (Fes, Morocco) Tour guiding license from the Ministry of Tourism (Morocco) Diploma in Computer programming (NJ, USA) I prefer to use the English language giving tours to my guests.

Overview of your Fes tour

Founded in the 9th century, this is the best preserved medieval city not only in Morocco but in the Muslim world. It is regarded by many as the cultural and spiritual heart of the country. In the morning after breakfast, you will visit the Royal palace of Fes, the jewish quarters and then have a splendid panoramic view of the old city. After exploring the ceramic and mosaic workshop just outside the city, You will explore the ancient medina and admire the three main components of the Arabic/Andalusian architecture: ceramic art, carving of the plaster and carving of the wood. You'll be surprised as I introduce you to the oldest continuous University mosque in the world. While strolling slowly in the narrow alleyways and markets of the old city, you will discover the medieval Koranic schools that housed students who came to study in Fes during the medieval time: Medrasa Bou Inania or Medrasa Sherratine. You will visit the oldest and biggest tannery in Morocco that is still functioning almost daily

Sa’id was one of the best guides we’ve had anywhere in the world—knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a true pleasure to spend the day with. He led us through the Medina, the Jewish cemetery, and the synagogue with deep insight and a wonderful ability to bring the history to life in a way that felt both personal and engaging. He struck the perfect balance between guiding and giving us space to explore and absorb the experience. What truly set him apart was how much he cared about our overall trip—he even connected us with a guide for our next stop in Marrakech. That level of thoughtfulness and follow-through is rare. We highly recommend Sa’id to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-curated experience in Fez.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Said is super engaging, speaks English fluently, knows Fez inside and out, and has deep knowledge of its history. For six hours, we clung onto every word. Never a dull moment. It was the most comprehensive experience we’ve ever had. There is no way we could have done this on our own. 1000% recommend!

Saids tour was spectacular, highly recommended. He has great inside knowledge of the city, of all of its history, politics, etc. Also the places the tour covers were incredible, we felt like we really got to know all of the city in one tour - the visit to the Jewish old quarters, the viewpoint and the old Medina were incredible, every place was great - we even had some great street food. Really really recommend the tour.

The best tour we have done in all of Morocco and one of the best guides we have ever had! We are a family of four and hired Said to show us around Fez. Said was great, and had so much interesting information to share. The tour was engaging, very interesting pieces of history we learned, while keeping it interesting for all participants - even my kids commented on it (that is saying something!).
