Viste guidee privee de la medina de Fes

the city of fez one of the most beautiful medieval cities in the world founded in 808. Being passionate about tourism and born in this beautiful Medina I chose to practice the profession of tourist guide and share my 35 years of experience with my customers and show the true image of my city on the historical, cultural, artisanal and gastronomic levels. I start with the blue door, after we visit the 14th century bouinania mederssas, crossing the souks we arrive at the Nejjarine museum with the beautiful Nejjarine fountain, then the Moulay Idriss mausoleum, in the heart of the medina we arrive at 1st world university founded by a woman in 859 . A stop at Place Seffarine, a mint tea at the small café will do you good, then there are the dyers with these skeins of wool, silk and cotton. Our last stop is the 14th century tannery with a view of the colors and tanners who work live . I offer a small craft visit such as weavers, fez embroidery...etc.
