Fez Private Photography Tour: Capture the Medina’s Timeless Streets
Walk the winding streets of Fes el-Bali with a private guide and professional photographer who frame the city’s medieval architecture and everyday life. This three-hour tour blends cultural context with curated images you’ll receive by email.
The Experience
Before You Go
Comfortable footwear
The medina has uneven cobbles and tight thresholds — wear shoes with good grip and ankle support for three hours of walking.
Light and timing
Aim for morning or late-afternoon departures for softer light and fewer crowds; midday produces harsh shadows in narrow alleys.
Hydration and small cash
Carry a reusable water bottle and small notes for tips, street snacks, or unexpected purchases in stalls.
Respect local subjects
Always ask before photographing people close-up; modesty and consent improve interactions and images.

Conservation Note
The medina is a living historic district — support local artisans, avoid single-use plastics, and follow your guide’s advice to minimize wear on fragile alleyways.
Fez’s medina grew from the 9th century and is home to Al-Qarawiyyin University (founded 859 AD), a continuous center of learning and craft.
