At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the main gate of the Lycée Moulay Idriss. From there, we'll start a guided tour of Fez that will explore the monuments hidden in the alleys of the Medina.

We'll start by discussing the Bab Bou Jeloud, or the Blue Gate, the main entrance of the Medina. We'll walk to the Al-Attarine Madrasa, a significant Koranic school, and visit the nearby Bou Inania Madrasa, known for its stucco walls, wood, and tiles with geometric motifs.

Our next stop will be outside the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque, which hosts the oldest university in the world. We will explore souks and ancient squares, including the Andalusian quarter.

Finally, we will visit the oldest tannery in the city: Sidi Moussa, and proceed to Seffarine Square, home to the boilermaker craftsmen.
