What makes my tours special is the connection — not just with the city, but with its people, its stories, and its soul. I was born and raised inside the old Medina of Fes, and every alley has a memory, every stone has a story.
With over 40 years of guiding experience, I don’t just show you the sights — I help you feel them. You’ll walk through history, meet local artisans, taste authentic life, and see the hidden gems most travelers miss. My tours are flexible, personal, and always filled with laughter, stories, and cultural insights that come straight from the heart.
For me, guiding isn’t a job — it’s a passion and a promise: to make your time in Morocco unforgettable.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I can pick you up directly from your hotel or riad inside the old Medina. Just share the name of your accommodation when you book, and I’ll meet you there at the start time.
If you’re not staying inside the Medina, you can meet me at Bab Boujloud (the Blue Gate) — the main entrance to the old city. I’ll be waiting right by the gate at the start time, easy to recognize and ready to begin your tour.
