A Fez food tour shows you the oldest food culture in Morocco. With a local guide you walk through the medina of Fes el-Bali, visit bakeries where families still bring their bread to a shared oven, and taste dishes that Fez is famous for. It is part of our 7-day Morocco food tour and a perfect start before the 3-day Fez to Merzouga desert tour or during the 10-day Morocco tour from Casablanca.
The tour is on foot and takes about 3 hours, in the morning or late afternoon. Read our guide to cooking classes in Morocco and our 10-day Morocco itinerary to plan your days in Fez. Find more Morocco adventure activities or ask us to plan a tailor-made trip.
The best time to see the bakeries and the breakfast dishes like bissara and msemen.
A relaxed walk with snacks, sweets and tea when the medina becomes busy before dinner.
The morning is great for bread and breakfast dishes. The late afternoon is good for sweets and a calm atmosphere. Both are possible.
Yes. Many travellers do the food tour after a guided visit of the medina. On our multi-day tours the Fez guide is often included.
The streets are narrow and some go up and down. The pace is slow and the guide stops often, so most people walk it easily.
The price is tailor-made. Send us a message on WhatsApp or design your trip and we will send you a quote.
