This Fes Workshop Tour offers an authentic journey into Morocco’s living craftsmanship, far beyond the typical sightseeing experience. Instead of simply viewing monuments, travelers step inside real artisan workshops to witness centuries-old techniques passed from master to apprentice — from hand-painting zellige tiles to shaping copper trays in Seffarine Square. Each stop reveals a different craft that defines Fes: leather tanning, pottery, weaving, wood carving, and metalwork. Guided by locals deeply connected to the medina’s creative spirit, participants don’t just observe; they interact with artisans and gain rare, behind-the-scenes access to Morocco’s artistic heritage. Immersive, sensory, and culturally rich, this tour transforms a day in Fes into a living museum — where tradition, artistry, and human skill come alive in every color, texture, and sound.
