About this activity

What makes this tour unique is the combination of traditional food tasting and cultural discovery inside the historic medina of Fez. This experience is not just about tasting food, but also about understanding the lifestyle and traditions connected to Moroccan cuisine.

Unlike typical tours, this experience takes you to local spots and traditional bakeries where residents eat every day. You will taste more than ten different Moroccan specialties while learning about the ingredients and preparation methods of each dish.

The tour also includes visits to important historical landmarks such as Chouara Tannery, one of the oldest leather tanneries in the world, and a stop at Seffarine Square, famous for its traditional copper craftsmen.

During the tour, the local guide will also share historical stories about Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This experience offers a unique opportunity to discover the authentic flavors and culture of Fez.
