Embarking on a walking tour in Fes is a journey through time, where ancient history meets vibrant culture. One of the must-visit places is the Medina of Fes, a UNESCO World Heritage site that boasts narrow winding streets filled with bustling souks, artisan workshops, and stunning architecture. As you wander through its labyrinthine alleyways, be sure to stop by the Bou Inania Madrasa, an exquisite example of Marinid architecture, renowned for its intricate tile work and serene courtyard.

Another iconic stop on your tour is the Al Quaraouiyine University, considered the oldest existing, continually operating higher educational institution in the world. Just nearby, the Fes Tannery offers a unique glimpse into the traditional leather-making process, where vibrant dyes and the sights and smells of the tanneries create an unforgettable experience. Don't miss the panoramic view of the city from the Borj Nord, which provides a breathtaking backdrop for photos and a chance to appreciate the sprawling beauty of Fes.
