Casablanca Fes Local Guide Excursion – Exploring the Oldest City Fes Medina Morocco
The Fes local guide will meet you at the Blue Door (Bab Boujloud), the main entrance to the ancient medina. The door has three arches and is decorated with the famous blue Moroccan zellij. It’s lunchtime, and Bab Boujloud contains many lined restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious Moroccan tajine (own expense).
After lunch, start the guided tour in the medieval city of Fes, moving to the heart of the medina. Discover the narrow maze-like alleyways and visit your first monument, Al-Quarraouine University, the first university in the world. The green tiled roof and neat architecture will leave a lasting impression.
Next, explore Bouanania Madrasa, a unique and vast school that played an important educational role for Muslims, representing Moroccan heritage with its Arabic calligraphy ornamented on the walls. Then, move to the Moulay Idriss Mausoleum, where you will observe locals lighting candles around the shrine to show respect.
Continue wandering the narrow streets visiting artisanal shops and notable places such as Chowara Tannery, where leather is tanned in all colors, Seffarine for local copper products, and Attarine, known for its pleasant aromas and exotic herbs.
Finally, return to Casablanca at 17:00, concluding your Casablanca to Fes local guide excursion.
