About Me

Fez, the soul of Morocco! This ancient city has been my home all my life, and sharing its wonders with visitors from around the world has been my passion for over 15 years. As a licensed tour guide, I have had the privilege of introducing hundreds of travelers to the magic, mystery, and magnificence of Fez el-Bali, the world's largest pedestrian-only urban area and one of the most authentic ancient and medieval cities still thriving today.

Growing up in the medina, I developed an intimate knowledge of its labyrinthine streets, hidden courtyards, and vibrant souks. Every corner tells a story, every doorway hides a secret, and every artisan workshop preserves centuries-old traditions. My goal is not simply to guide you through the city, but to help you feel its heartbeat, understand its soul, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

When I’m not guiding tours, you’ll find me studying Fez’s history, practicing languages, or spending time with local artisans to deepen my understanding of traditional crafts. I believe that a great guide never stops learning, and I’m constantly discovering new stories and perspectives to share with my guests. Let me be your bridge to understanding this extraordinary city and its warm, welcoming people.

“Guiding is more than routes and datesit's sharing the heartbeat of Fez in a way that feels personal, welcoming, and unforgettable.”

8 day private driver tour Fés to Marrakech

We just completed an 8 day tour with Zakariae as our driver. We never felt so pampered and taken cared of in our lives! We started in Fés, through Merzourga and ended in Marrakech. We saw so many fantastic sights and had such memorable experiences in the desert and along the way. Zakariae kept us on a timely schedule, but we never felt rushed. We always felt safe and secured under his kind care.

A grand day out .

A grand day out .Zakariae (was there on time to pick my Wife and I from our hotel),a very pleasing chap of smart appearance and a well spoken tone of voice, with a fine understanding of the English language. Our tour of the ancient Roman city of Volubilis , the holy city of Moulay Idriss and then on to the Royal city of Meknes . We were transported in Zakariae’sShiny black car, with soft seats , good air conditioning , and a smooth driving style that made us feel safe in his hands.Zakariae’s commentary on the journey ensured we understood the history of the different places we visited. We would have booked another trip with these guys if we were in Fez longer.Thank you for a wonderful day, regardsDavid and Helen.

Visite guidée de Fès sur une journée entière avec Mohammed. Une expérience vraiment exceptionnelle avec un guide passionné et passionnant. Nous avons exploré aussi bien l’extérieur que l’intérieur de la médina, en passant par des points de vue panoramiques, des sites historiques emblématiques et des ruelles typiques riches en vie locale. Mohammed connaissait chaque recoin et chaque histoire : il répondait avec précision à toutes nos questions, tout en partageant de nombreuses anecdotes qui ont rendu la visite vivante et captivante. Grâce à lui, nous avons pu découvrir la médina de Fès sous un angle authentique, loin des simples circuits touristiques. Je recommande cette visite les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui veulent vraiment comprendre et ressentir l’âme de Fès. Veux-tu que je raccourcisse un peu le texte pour qu’il rentre dans une fiche Google Maps ou Tripadvisor ?
