Overview

Arriving in Tangier by ferry from Spain or by train from Casablanca? This 3-day Tangier to Fes tour is the most rewarding way to cross the north of Morocco. You stop in white Tetouan, spend a night in blue Chefchaouen, walk among the Roman ruins of Volubilis, see the royal gates of Meknes and finish with a guided day in the Fes medina.

The private format makes the difference on these roads. Your English-speaking driver takes care of luggage, parking and timing, and lets you stop for the views across the Rif mountains. In Fes, a local guide leads you through the maze of the old medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The tour ends in Fes, an easy base for trains to Casablanca or flights onward. Want to add the Sahara? The 5-day Tangier desert tour continues to the dunes of Merzouga. Superior accommodation is available on both nights.

Highlights

  • Tetouan's UNESCO-listed white medina
  • A night in blue Chefchaouen
  • Roman mosaics at Volubilis
  • Bab Mansour and the imperial city of Meknes
  • Guided day in Fes el-Bali with a local guide
  • Private driver from Tangier to Fes

Itinerary

  1. Day 1 Tangier – Tetouan – Chefchaouen

    Pickup at your Tangier hotel, the ferry port or the train station. Drive about an hour to Tetouan and explore its white medina, built by Andalusian families and listed by UNESCO, with streets of tailors, silversmiths and spice shops around the royal palace square. Continue into the Rif mountains to Chefchaouen, arriving in the afternoon. Check in to your riad and spend the evening exploring the blue lanes, the Outa el Hammam square and, if you like, the walk up to the Spanish Mosque for sunset.

    Overnight: Riad in Chefchaouen Meals: Dinner

  2. Day 2 Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes

    Take an early walk while Chefchaouen is quiet, then leave the mountains for the olive groves of the Zerhoun hills. Visit Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman city in Morocco, famous for its mosaics and triumphal arch; a site guide can be hired at the entrance. Continue to Meknes, the imperial city of Sultan Moulay Ismail, to see the monumental Bab Mansour gate and El Hedim square. Arrive in Fes in the early evening and check in to your riad for dinner.

    Overnight: Riad in Fes Meals: Breakfast, dinner

  3. Day 3 Fes guided visit, end in Fes

    Spend the day with a local guide in Fes el-Bali, the old walled medina. Enter through Bab Boujloud, visit the Bou Inania madrasa, glimpse the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university from its doorway and watch the leather dyers at the Chouara tannery from a terrace above. Meet craftspeople working brass, cedar wood and ceramics, and stop for mint tea in a hidden courtyard. The tour ends in Fes in the late afternoon, at your hotel or the train station. Trains leave Fes regularly for Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech if you continue on your own.

Moroccan journey

Viaje marroquí

Mi familia y yo organizamos nuestro propio itinerario durante 10 días en Marruecos. Alquilamos un coche con conductor para acompañarnos en el camino y disfrutar de todo lo que Marruecos tiene para ofrecer. Salem, nuestro conductor, era una gran persona: amable, siempre a disposición, y no solo era nuestro conductor, sino que fue capaz de sugerirnos cosas que hacer, lugares para ver y dónde dormir, y de explicarnos su tradición y cultura. El vehículo era espacioso y cómodo, y la ruta fue genial. Realmente recomiendo esta agencia para viajar por Marruecos de la manera más fácil posible.

How do we continue after Fes?
