Itinerary

Day 1:Tangier – Rif Mountains – Chefchaouen (The Blue City)

Your cultural adventure begins with a personal pick-up from your hotel, the port, or the airport in Tangier. We depart immediately towards the Rif Mountains, enjoying a scenic 3-hour drive that showcases the lush, green landscapes of Northern Morocco. We will pass near the white city of Tetouan and wind through charming mountain roads, making several stops for panoramic photos along the way.

By midday, we arrive in Chefchaouen, the famous “Blue Pearl.” Nestled between two mountain peaks, this town is celebrated for its washed-blue buildings and peaceful vibe. You will have the rest of the day free to explore the Medina. Wander through the narrow, photogenic alleys, shop for local handicrafts (woven blankets and wool), and relax with a mint tea at a café in Plaza Uta el-Hammam, watching the world go by.

  • Overnight: Charming Riad or Hotel in Chefchaouen.

Day 2:Chefchaouen – Rif Villages – Fes (Guided Tour)

After a leisurely breakfast in the blue city, we continue our journey south towards Fes, the spiritual capital of Morocco.

Upon arrival at your Riad in Fes, you will meet your Private Local Guide for an immersive tour of the Medina (Fes el-Bali).

This UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest car-free urban area in the world. Your tour will cover the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the golden gates of the Royal Palace, the historic Bab Boujloud (Blue Gate), and the Bou Inania Madrasa, a masterpiece of Marinid architecture.

When is the best time of year to book a multi-day Morocco desert tour?
