The best shopping in Fez isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Fes el-Bali Medina and Chouara Tannery are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Fez is home to the world's largest car-free urban zone, making it a walking city by necessity and by magic. The ancient medina of Fes el-Bali is a labyrinth of over nine thousand alleys where donkeys remain the primary transport.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Fez. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Fes el-Bali Medina — the world's largest car-free urban zone with over 9,000 alleys, home to tanneries, mosques, and artisan workshops dating back 1,200 years, Chouara Tannery — an 11th-century leather tannery where workers dye hides in stone vats of vivid color, best viewed from surrounding terrace shops, plus hidden gems like Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts — housed in a beautifully restored caravanserai with a rooftop terrace.
Use this page as a starting point for a Fez walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Fez. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Fez for history and culture, but every walking route ends up passing through Fes el-Bali Medina and Chouara Tannery and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts — it reflects what the people of Fez actually buy, make, and value.
Hire a local guide for your first medina visit to learn the landmarks, then explore solo on subsequent days — the medina is safe but genuinely disorienting.
March through May and October through November bring comfortable walking weather; summer temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
