Itinerary
The entrance to Fez's Palais Royale is a stunning example of modern restoration, but the 80 hectares of palace grounds are not open to the public.Visitors must be satisfied with viewing its imposing brass doors, surrounded by fine zellige
The Ibn Danan Synagogue is a synagogue in Fes, Morocco, dating from the 17th century. It was built by Mimoun Ben Sidan, a wealthy merchant from the town of Ait Ishaq. the entrance fee is not included; it is 20 DH
Ceramics are everywhere in Fez – from the distinctive blue pottery to the intricate mosaics decorating fountains and riads. Art Naji is the place to go to see the real deal being made. The centre is a professional operation, and free guides will take you through the entire production process, from pot-throwing to the painstaking hand painting and laying out of zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework) – it’s a joy to behold.
The Chaouwara tanneries are one of the city’s most iconic sights (and smells), offering a unique window into the pungent, natural process of producing world-class leather using methods that have changed little since medieval times
This museum is in a wonderfully restored funduq, an ancient inn used by travelling merchants who stored and sold their goods below and took lodgings on the floors above. Centred on a courtyard, the rooms are given over to displays of traditional artefacts of craftsmen’s tools, chunky prayer beads and Berber locks, chests and musical instruments. Everything is beautifully presented, although the stunning building gives the exhibits a run for their money. The rooftop cafe has great views over the medina. Photography is forbidden near the exhibits but is allowed in the courtyard and from the rooftop. Entrance fees not included: 20DH
One of Africa’s largest mosques and possibly the oldest university in the world, this complex is the spiritual heart of Fez and Morocco itself. It's so large that it can be difficult to actually see: over the centuries the streets and houses of the Kairaouine quarter have encroached on the building so much they disguise its true shape. Non-Muslims cannot enter.
The Bab Abi al-Jounoud or Bab Bou Jeloud is an ornate city gate and the main western entrance to Fes el Bali, the old city of Fez, Morocco.
The Madrasa Bou Inania is a madrasa in Fes, Morocco, founded in AD 1351–56 by Abu Inan Faris. It is widely acknowledged as an excellent example of Marinid architecture Entrance fees not included: 20DH

Had a great guide which covered all of the main highlights of Fes. Super helpful to have someone show you around and keep the touts away, I had walked around by myself the previous day and was swarmed. Price is great and couldn't ask for anything more.

The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, I definitely learned some interesting things about Fès. The highlight for me was visiting the ceramics factory. The tour of the Medina itself involves going into several businesses who would explain a bit about their craft and ask if you want to buy anything. I did feel a little like the sellers were annoyed when no one in our group(there were only 3 of us) bought anything. Though this may just have been my British awkwardness. All in all I would recommend, especially for someone who has just arrived to Morroco, it is a great introduction to the some of the different industries here.
Our guide was incredible. He knew every single place of the old town, which is really necessary for every visitor in Fez. With him we had the chance to enter to places where is difficult to enter if you are just a random visitor. He explained the historical sites of the Medina. Overall incredible experience

My friend and I enjoyed the tour and it was a good choice to take a guided tour. Our guide was KAMAL and he gives us an inside of the Medina, a brief history of the places we were shown. I would strongly recommend the tour and Kamal as a guide
