This medina is fascinating. Small alleyways open up to reveal beatiful architecture. Who knows what hides behind all the wooden doors. This medina is well and truly used by the locals but is definitely geared up for tourists. Yes you can go in without a guide but you will not see half the things of interest or understand about their...

its like going to a medieval Arab city in a time machine..... fez Medina is a perfect living reflection of the golden era narrated in the Arabian nights......
Fascinating Medina but really worth going with a guide for first time because you learn so much more and it helps to cover everything because it's so large and easy to get distracted. Loved the views of the leather factory.
We loved staying in the Medina with all its attractions so close by. Everyone we met or passed in the streets were welcoming and genuinely pleased that we had chosen to stay in this amazing part of Fez.

The Medina was a great adventure and it was great to see how and were people lived in the old part of Fes. Everything is so different to other parts of the world and if you want to see Morocco as it was and still is, then the Medina is well worth a look
Our guide, Hassan, was incredible. He was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and thorough. We learnt so much about the medina and the culture. Without a guide you wouldn't get the insights and stories. After having a guide, you can then wander the alleys and streets with a better understanding of the people and their traditions. I just loved Hassan's warts and...
