The medina of Fez can be traveled in the middle of the morning and there would still be plenty of time. This is what the agencies do and the traveler did it on his first visit. They took him in a taxi to the nearest door, showed him the atmosphere of Saffarine Square, surrounding the Qarouine Mosque, or some other place that the traveler no longer remembers, took him back to his hotel. Fez needs much more than this: losing through the medina, living the contrast of cultures with a native who was born in Fez and knows all its corners with their stories, as well as knowing the reason for any detail in the medina. And that is what we are going to share with you on this guided tour;  WELCOME TO FEZ.
