Fes el-Bali in a day: walking guide
From Bab Bou Jeloud to the tanneries and back
A self-guided one-day walking loop through the Fes el-Bali medina, threading the main monuments — Bab Bou Jeloud, Bou Inania, Talaa Kebira, Nejjarine, Al-Qarawiyyin, Chouara Tannery — with food stops, timing notes and map orientation tips.

Not strictly — the loop is doable with a good offline map (maps.me or 'plan de Fez'). But a licensed guide saves time, prevents touts, and is invaluable for context at Bou Inania and the Qarawiyyin precinct. Half-day rates start around 250 MAD.
