Ceramics are everywhere in Fez – from the distinctive blue pottery to the intricate mosaics decorating fountains and riads. Art Naji is the place to go to see the real deal being made. The centre is a professional operation, and free guides will take you through the entire production process, from pot-throwing to the painstaking hand painting and laying out of zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework) – it’s a joy to behold.

Museo Nejjarine
This museum is in a wonderfully restored funduq, an ancient inn used by travelling merchants who stored and sold their goods below and took lodgings on the floors above. Centred on a courtyard, the rooms are given over to displays of traditional artefacts of craftsmen’s tools, chunky prayer beads and Berber locks, chests and musical instruments. Everything is beautifully presented, although the stunning building gives the exhibits a run for their money. The rooftop cafe has great views over the medina. Photography is forbidden near the exhibits but is allowed in the courtyard and from the rooftop. Entrance fees not included: 20DH
10 minutes here · Admission not included
Kairaouine Mosque
One of Africa’s largest mosques and possibly the oldest university in the world, this complex is the spiritual heart of Fez and Morocco itself. It's so large that it can be difficult to actually see: over the centuries the streets and houses of the Kairaouine quarter have encroached on the building so much they disguise its true shape. Non-Muslims cannot enter.

Medina Walking tour.
Be aware that the Medina is partially closed on a Friday and the tour might be split into two parts as ours was, which was nice for us andgave us something to look forward to later in the evening. Make sure you have water with you as well as there are no stops.

A great day in Fes, Morroco
The guide Zahra was quite knowledgeable and gave us a lot of background information. We have a pretty good day in Fed.

Excellent introduction to the city and met our expectations
We like to go on guided walks when we first arrive at a destination to not only inform us about the culture, history and sites but, also to help with our familiarisation and orientation. And this worked a treat. The souk is vast and interesting. The guide was pleasant and informative.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re thrilled that the guided walk in Fes met your expectations and helped you get familiar with the city, its culture, and history. It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring the souk and found the guide pleasant and informative. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience in Morocco!

Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace cost?
+
Prices start at $9 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.
Is Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fes Tour: Medina, Chouara Tannery, Artisans, Souks & Royal Palace start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fez within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fez?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fez?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
