Fez is the oldest of Morocco’s imperial cities and remains the spiritual, intellectual, and cultural heart of the nation. Founded in the late 8th century by Idriss I, it holds the distinction of being the first Islamic city established in Morocco.

The city is home to some of the country’s most iconic historical landmarks, including the grand Royal Palace with its exquisite zellige-tiled façade, the world-renowned Kairouyine University and Mosque, the historic Jewish quarter (Mellah), and stunning madrasas adorned with intricate stucco and tile work.

Fez also boasts the largest medina in Morocco—a vast, labyrinthine city-within-a-city, divided into over 20 distinct quarters and thousands of narrow alleyways. The medina is alive with traditional craftsmanship, from colorful ceramics and textiles to woodworking and leather goods. Among its most famous sights are the ancient tanneries, where leather is dyed using centuries-old techniques, and the ceramic workshops located on the city’s outskirts.

These tours are carefully crafted to offer a comprehensive and immersive introduction to Morocco’s rich heritage, with Fez as a captivating starting point.
