Descrizione del tour
Fes el-Bali è la più grande area urbana pedonale al mondo, un labirinto di circa novemila vicoli abitato ininterrottamente dal nono secolo. La sua cucina è la più raffinata del Marocco: un tempo capitale imperiale, custodisce ancora la tradizione culinaria di corte, sebbene quasi nulla sia stato messo per iscritto.
Scendiamo a piedi dalla Porta Blu al mattino, quando lo street food della medina prende vita. Msemen, focacce quadrate sfogliate piegate e cotte sulla piastra, servite con miele o con amlou, una crema spalmabile a base di argan e mandorle. Bissara, zuppa di fave servita in ciotole con olio d'oliva, cumino e tanto pane. Sfenj, anelli di pasta fritti in grandi padelle d'olio vicino alla fontana Nejjarine e infilati in una corda di foglie di palma da portare a casa.
Si passa poi al salato: l'harira di un venditore che occupa la stessa postazione da decenni, la carne conservata khlii e la macelleria di carne di dromedario che espone una testa sopra il bancone, così che nessuno debba chiedere di cosa si tratti.
Concludiamo al mercato dei dolci con la chebakia, dolci al sesamo e miele piegati come fiori, accompagnati da tè alla menta.
Piccolo gruppo, massimo 10 ospiti, accompagnati da una guida locale autorizzata.

Bab Boujloud (the Blue Gate), Fes el-Bali medina
We meet outside Bab Boujloud, the Blue Gate, at the top entrance to the old medina. Your guide will have a small sign with your name.
Itinerario dettagliato
Stop 1 - Bab Boujloud: We start at the Blue Gate with your guide on Fes's ninth-century founding, the guild system and how to navigate nine thousand lanes.
Stop 2 - Msemen and mint tea: Square flatbread folded many times and fried on a griddle, eaten with honey or with amlou, the argan and almond paste.
Stop 3 - Bissara: Broad bean soup poured hot into a bowl with olive oil, cumin and chilli, eaten with bread and nothing else. The medina's working breakfast.
Stop 4 - Sfenj at the Nejjarine fountain: Rings of dough fried in a vat and threaded onto a loop of palm string. A morning-only trade.
Stop 5 - Harira and khlii: Tomato and lentil soup from a vendor with a decades-old pitch, plus khlii, meat preserved in fat and fried with eggs.
Stop 6 - The souks: Camel butcher, spice merchants and the tanneries viewpoint, with your guide on the medieval guild layout that still governs which trade sits where.
Stop 7 - Chebakia and pastries: Sesame and honey pastries folded like flowers, ghriba and briouat, from the sweet souk near the Kairaouine mosque, with mint tea.

Altre note
Runs daily at 08:30. Most cooked street food in the Fes medina finishes around one in the afternoon, which is why this is a morning tour.
Our guides are licensed. Fes is the most disorienting medina in Morocco and unlicensed guides attach themselves to visitors and then charge to lead them out. Your guide will show you how to decline firmly, and you will have an offline map.
Pricing: street food in Fes has a wide gap between local and visitor prices. Your guide agrees every price and pays.
Friday: many family-run stalls close around midday prayer and the family couscous, roughly noon to three. Our morning route finishes before that.
Ramadan: daytime food service in the medina almost stops. We switch to an evening iftar tour for those weeks - ask us if your dates fall inside it.
Alcohol is essentially unavailable in the Fes medina and this route does not include it.
Water and hygiene: bottled water only; we use cooked-to-order and high-turnover stalls and avoid anything standing.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. Vegetarian is workable via msemen, bissara, salads and pastries.
About 2.5 km of walking, downhill, on uneven and often slippery medieval paving. Not suitable for wheelchairs or for anyone with significant mobility difficulty.
