The blue city of Chefchaouen on a private day trip from Fes
Travel north from Fes into Morocco’s Rif Mountains to discover the distinctive blue-painted lanes and mountain atmosphere of Chefchaouen. This is an excellent choice for photography and local culture, although the return journey involves substantial driving.
Suggested day-trip programme
Morning — Fes to the Rif Mountains
Leave your Fes accommodation for the scenic journey towards Chefchaouen, with suitable breaks along the way depending on traffic and the agreed departure time.
Midday — Chefchaouen’s blue medina
Walk through the narrow blue-washed lanes, discover small shops and visit the atmospheric main square. Choose a private local introduction or independent time, depending on your interests and guiding arrangements.
Afternoon — Return to Fes
Enjoy your final views of the town before heading back towards Fes. Because this is a long day, flexibility is essential and not every possible stop can be guaranteed.
Before you go
Chefchaouen has steps and sloped streets, so wear comfortable shoes. Bring a charged camera and an extra layer for changing mountain weather. Let us know if you prefer an overnight extension for a more relaxed visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I finish the tour in Chefchaouen instead of Fes?
Yes, a one-way transfer or longer journey may be possible subject to availability and revised pricing.
Can we add Volubilis or Meknes?
Those destinations are better considered as part of a multi-day route rather than added to this already long day trip.
