Day visit guided in fez

Overview

Fez sightseeing tour will take you back in time to explore the secrets of this enchanting city, the capital of medieval Morocco. Fez medina is a large labyrinth of winding alleys. It’s famous for its fascinating architecture in riads, palaces, museums, and Medersas; but also for its busy souks and crafts areas. Traditionally, the exploration of the medina starts at the Bab Boujloud Gate, also known as the Blue Gate. Nearby, there is the Batha Museum (closed on Tuesdays and national holidays), then the mid-14th century Bou Inania Medersa, with its cedar woodwork, its sculptured stucco, marble, and beautiful calligraphy.
