The experience

The Medina of Tetouan is one of Morocco's largest and most significant Jewish quarters, built in the Andalusian style and now a UNESCO Heritage site. Your guide leads you through the historic gates and thematic neighborhoods that layer Moroccan, Andalusian, and colonial influences into a single district. The walk takes in the architecture and street life that shaped the city over centuries, with time to engage with locals and see how traditions persist in daily life.

After the Medina, the tour moves into Ensanche, the Spanish colonial district built on a different plan from the old city. The route ends at Feddan Park, where you step back from the streets and take in a panoramic view of the mountains surrounding Tetouan. A certified guide conducts the tour in English, Spanish, French, or Arabic, and children from age two are welcome.
