Overview
Your guide welcomes you, ready to begin your full day tour to Fez.
The first stop is one of Moroccos's oldest mosques; the Andalusia Mosque. Built in the 9th Century, this stunning mosque is very impressive with its imposing green and white minaret, and its exquisite wood carvings.
From here you will explore one of the main attractions of Fez, the Tanners’ District. This is where leather is produced using centuries-old methods. Take the opportunity and get a bird’s eye view from a raised platform to watch the entire process.
Arriving in the heart of the city you will see El-Attarine Madrasa or the Medersa Attarine. Built in the early 1300s, you will see fine examples of Merenid craftsmanship around the madrasa, especially the stucco and cedar wood carvings on the ceiling.
See one of the biggest religious structures in Morocco Karaouine Mosque. This mosque lies in the heart of the medina, and the university attached to the mosque has been the centre of Islamic learning in Morocco for more than 1000 years. See the Azouia Moulay Idriss, where at the entrance, women pass offerings through a hatch, which is also as close as a non-Muslim can get.
You will take a visit to the Place Nejjarine. This is home to the Nejjarine Museum of Wood and carpentry,which showcases Fez’s renowned wood-carving traditions and a beautiful fountain. Expect to see exquisite furniture, thrones and objects of everyday use. View the Royal Palace, one of the most elegant structures in Morocco, and Bab Boujloud. The Bab Boujloud gate is the most famous gate in Morocco, and is also the main entrance to the Medina. See the striking blue and green colors that cover either side of this monumental gate.
Your tour takes you to enjoy the spectacular views over the city from Tombs of the Merenid Dynasty. This is the resting place of the Merenid Sultans who played a crucial role in making Fez the cultural and religious capital of Morocco. You will have the opportunity to explore the the District of the potters, see where the world-famous cobalt blue enameled pottery is made.
After enjoying all these amazing places you will be returned to your shuttle bus stop.
