About this tour
In Fez, the real magic is in the process. Visit craft streets and workshops where possible and learn how zellige patterns are built, what marks good metalwork, how wood is carved and how textiles differ by weave and finish.
Shopping is optional: your guide can help you compare quality, understand pricing and bargain politely. If you don’t want to buy, the focus stays on watching the work.
