3-Day Tangier to Fes via Chefchaouen & Volubilis

Pick-up in Tangier from your hotel, riad, the port or the airport. The road follows the coast to Tetouan, whose whitewashed medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, before climbing into the green Rif Mountains (about 2 hours of driving in total).

Arrive in Chefchaouen around midday and check into your riad. In the afternoon your guide walks you through the blue lanes to Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the kasbah and the Ras el-Ma spring. Finish at the Spanish Mosque viewpoint for sunset over the blue city. Overnight in Chefchaouen.

After breakfast, drive south through olive groves and rolling hills to Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman city in Morocco, with its mosaics, basilica and triumphal arch. Continue to the holy town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun for a view over its white houses.

In Meknes, the imperial city of Sultan Moulay Ismail, stop at the monumental Bab Mansour gate, El Hedim square and the royal granaries. Arrive in Fes in the late afternoon (around 5 hours of driving with the visits). Overnight in a riad in Fes.

Discover Fes el-Bali, the largest car-free medina in the world, with a licensed local guide: the Bou Inania madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and library, the Nejjarine fountain, the copper and weavers' souks and the Chouara tanneries seen from a terrace. Lunch break in the medina.

In the afternoon, a panoramic stop at the Merinid tombs above the city and the golden gates of the Royal Palace. The tour ends at your accommodation in Fes, the train station or Fes airport — or we can extend the journey to the Sahara.
