Are you ready to immerse yourself in a four-hour gastronomic adventure in Fez? Join us on an exploration of the winding alleys and hidden gems of Fez’s historic city. Your tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation and leads you to the iconic Bab Boujloud gate, from where you’ll venture into the local eateries and backstreets where the people of Fez indulge in their meals. Prepare to engage in a cultural immersion led by a local guide who is well-versed in the art of Moroccan cuisine, eager to share the secrets of preparation and the cultural significance behind each dish.

The cuisine itself is a tantalizing blend of flavors and variety. Your journey will include a visit to a traditional underground wood-fired oven known as a “Faran,” where local households bring trays of dough to be baked at a minimal cost.

You won’t want to miss the Moroccan grilled lamb Kefta, ground meat seasoned in the traditional Moroccan style, char-grilled to perfection over hot coals, resulting in an irresistibly juicy and flavorful dish.

A delightful pause in your journey awaits with Kheliie, a dried beef dish traditionally enjoyed with eggs and tea in the morning, offering a burst of delicious flavors.
