Fez Medina Guided Tour
Highlights
• Tours usually begin at 09:00 AM, although It's possible to start later in the morning or in the afternoon
• Be Informed About Visits to Shops: guided tours include visits to artisan cooperatives (e.g., for carpets, leather, or pottery). These aren't mandatory purchases —feel free to observe, learn, and say no politely.
• Bargain Respectfully: In markets or shops, bargaining is expected. Smile, stay respectful, and don't feel pressured to buy
• Don't expect all areas to be polished or touristy—part of the Medina's charm is its authenticity and local life.
• Carry Small Change: Some attractions, public toilets, and local snacks may require small cash (dirhams).
• Pack essentials like tissues or hand sanitizer for understocked restrooms, sunscreen for unexpected sun exposure, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
