This Fes Workshop Tour offers an authentic journey into Morocco’s living craftsmanship, far beyond the typical sightseeing experience.

1
Fes el-Bali
Begin your journey in the maze-like medina of Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and artistic heart. Follow your local expert through its UNESCO-listed alleys, where every turn reveals the pulse of tradition — the echo of craftsmen’s hammers, the rhythm of weaving looms, the scent of spices, and the vibrant energy of daily life that has remained unchanged for centuries.

Chouara Tannery
Visit the world-famous Chouara Tannery, where age-old leather-dyeing techniques have been preserved for more than a thousand years. From a panoramic terrace, watch artisans soak, soften, and dye hides in vibrant natural pigments — a captivating scene that showcases one of Fes’s most remarkable living traditions.

Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts & Crafts
Discover Morocco’s rich woodworking heritage inside this beautifully restored caravanserai, once a bustling stop for traders crossing the kingdom. Admire finely carved doors, traditional instruments, and centuries-old tools that reveal the remarkable precision and artistry of Fassi woodworkers.

Cooperative Artisanal de Fes
Ride or walk to the pottery quarter just outside the medina, where skilled artisans create Fes’s iconic zellige mosaics, ceramic tiles, and hand-painted pottery. Watch each step of the craft — from molding the clay to firing it in traditional kilns and decorating it with intricate motifs — before exploring a dazzling showroom filled with finished pieces.
30 minutes

Place Seffarine
Visit one of the medina’s oldest metalworking quarters, where the air vibrates with the rhythmic clang of copper and brass. Watch artisans hammer, shape, and engrave teapots, trays, and lanterns — each piece crafted entirely by hand using techniques passed down through generations.
