This private 2-day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen takes you to Morocco’s most photogenic town — the famous Blue City, tucked into the green Rif Mountains and painted in every shade of indigo. It’s an easy, scenic escape from Fes with time to actually wander, not just tick a box.
You’ll spend an afternoon and morning exploring Chefchaouen’s blue-washed medina and kasbah, then loop back to Fes through two of Morocco’s great historic sites: the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes. Fully private, with your own driver-guide and a flexible pace.
After breakfast you’ll leave Fes and drive north through the rolling green hills of the Rif Mountains — a landscape so lush it’s often compared to wine country. By lunchtime you’ll arrive in Chefchaouen, drop your bags at the riad, and set out to explore.
Lose yourself in the blue-washed lanes of the medina, visit the walled Kasbah with its gardens and little museum, and climb to a rooftop for a sweeping view over the indigo houses and tiled roofs. Browse the town’s wool garments, woven blankets and famous goat cheese before dinner and an overnight stay in a local riad or hotel.
After breakfast you’ll head to the remarkably well-preserved Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its intricate mosaics. Nearby you’ll pass the sacred hilltop village of Moulay Idriss before reaching Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities.
In Meknes you’ll see the monumental Bab Mansour gate, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the vast Sahrij Souani basin and the old granaries. After free time on the main square — alive with storytellers and musicians — you’ll return to Fes in the late afternoon, where the trip ends.
