An amazing day in Fez - Mr. Abdula, thank you so much for the most wonderful tour of Fez we could imagine. We didn’t just go see famous tour sites; you also showed us the heart and soul of the old city. And you shared your friendship. I hope the gold is mutual. Mary and Henry

Tour of Fes with Abdellatif - Abdellatif is such an amazing person and tour guide. He showed my friends and I all around the Medina and took us to only the best shops. He’s so knowledgeable of the history of Fes and we learned so much from him. We feel so lucky to have met him.

We were fortunate to take this tour - Our guide, Abdul, was very knowledgeable, and very respectful. He is obviously a respected man in this city, as seen by his interaction with the people of Fes. With only one day in Fes, we at least had the sense of seeing important parts of the city, and learned so much about Fes. We were very fortunate to take this tour.

A great experience! - Abdul was the best guide! Wealth of knowledge and great at tailoring the tour to what you’re most interested in. We saw all the treasures of the Medina, and some beautiful views of it from outside. He gave us a lot of insight on the elaborate history and culture of Fes.

Professional tour with Abdel! Would recommend to anyone! - We had a fantastic time with Abdel. We were a group of five girls and he was incredibly patient with us and took amazing photos. The amount of history was ample but not overwhelming. I’m really happy our riad set us up with Abdel and he was truly the best!
Also there are many shops to stop at for your shopping tour — from carpets to argan oil to ceramics to leather. Don’t forget to negotiate… I really trusted our guide!

A wonderful, rich experience in the Fez medina - On the advice of my dar host, I scheduled a Fez medina tour with Abdellatif Maskine. Mr Maskine was absolutely wonderful to work with - he listened to my interests, took me through 11mi/almost 18km of medina streets/passages/alleyways that I would not have been able to navigate on my own, and shared a huge amount of valuable information.
I appreciated his work so much that I decided to accept his offer to reconvene the next day for a half day tour, which was also wonderful - we saw the rest of the Andalusian quarter and had some excellent mint tea (pro tip, the mint tea may have a lot of additional herbs delicious besides mint!) Would highly recommend and if I have the opportunity to return to Fez would absolutely appreciate the opportunity to be guided by Mr Maskine again.

Wonderful Guides Taking Me Deep Into The Fez Mediina - Fez Sahara Tours really helped me see, appreciate and enjoy the Fez Medina. Abdellatif Maskine or Abby as he asked to be called is a truly excellent tour guide and more importantly, a good person. My goal was to take photos and videos of historic sights, and interesting people in the Medina. Abby was patient, kind, extremely generous, protective and knowledgeable and funny.
At first my friend and I just booked a half day tour, but that organically grew to two full day tours. He took us to the famous Chouara Tannery, Jewish Mellah, Marinid Tombs, the gates of The Royal Palace, Al Attarine Madrasa in addition to meeting countless talented artisans. Abby and especially his colleague Adbul helped explain to us art of negotiating a price with vendors.
Abby arranged for a driver to take us to various locations outside the Medina such as Castles, Forts, The Jewish Cemetery, pottery site, and Blue Gate. I got all that I wanted from this experience, and more. I high recommend Abdellatif and Fez Sahara Tours.
Warmly,
Shawn
