Occasionally,
Fez Medina hosts tours in Fez for small groups of individuals
interested in the restoration process in the Fez Medina.
Participants will be housed in restored traditional houses
in the Old City, and will explore the Fez Medina in unusual
depth, including:
-
Visits to houses currently under restoration and lively
discussions with the owners about their adventures and
misadventures in tampering with the destiny of a historic
house
-
Visits to unrenovated historic houses currently on the
market in Fez
-
Visits to workshops of the Fassi artisans whose skills
make these renovations possible, including masters in
the arts of wood and plaster carving, traditional furniture
making, and the laying of zellighe mosaic in traditional
patterns informed by the science of sacred geometry
-
Visit to a traditional mosaic factory, where the intricate
patterns of Moroccan zellighe mosaic are fired, glazed
and shaped
-
Private visits to UNESCO-restored monuments and buildings
of exceptional historic interest
-
Day trips to Meknes and the Roman ruins at Volubulis
Fez
Medina, L.L.C. is in the process of scouting for remarkable
sites in the southern oases of Morocco. Selected restoration
tours will continue south to explore the astounding mud
architecture of the ksours. These tours are benefits for
future restoration projects in the Fez Medina and elsewhere
in Morocco. Each tour is created on an individualized
basis.
