Lens on Fez: Photography Expedition

No. Roughly half our guests shoot on a phone, and the coaching adapts. If you do bring a camera, a 24–70 equivalent plus something fast for interiors covers the whole route.

Anywhere from confident beginner to professional. Tell us where you are when booking and the guide pitches the technical side accordingly — exposure basics at one end, lighting and sequencing at the other.

With permission, yes, and getting that permission is the point of going with a local. Your guide knows the artisans, asks first, and will tell you clearly where not to shoot — inside mosques and at the Zaouia, and around women who have not agreed.

Yes. The 08:00 start is the default, but a sunrise version from 06:30 and an afternoon-to-golden-hour version are both available at the same price. Sunrise is the quietest Medina you will ever photograph.

Yes, on request, with a local model and a rooftop or riad setting. There is an additional fee for the model's time — ask for a quote.

A small one for the rooftops, yes. In the lanes it mostly gets in the way, and the workshops are tight enough that handheld at a slow shutter is the practical answer.

Your guide meets you at the door of your riad or hotel in Fez at 08:00 and walks you back at the end. If your riad sits deep in the Medina, we agree the nearest gate the day before so nobody waits in the wrong alley.

€60 is per person, and it is the full price — guiding, entrance fees and transport inside the city are already included. Groups are capped at four photographers so that everyone gets the frame.

Send your date and group size by WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation the same day, usually within a couple of hours. No deposit and no card details: you pay your guide in cash, in euros or dirhams, on the day.

Cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the start time — a message is enough. Inside 48 hours we will still move you to another date whenever we can.
