Itinerary
At around 9:00–10:00 AM, we begin our 3-day tour from Fes to Chefchaouen with a pickup from your hotel or riad. We drive through the scenic Rif Mountains, known for their lush greenery, fertile soil, and picturesque lakes. En route, we stop for lunch at Motel Rif—a popular roadside restaurant where travelers relax and enjoy local cuisine. After lunch, we continue through winding mountain roads with breathtaking views before arriving in Chefchaouen in the afternoon. Known as the “Blue City,” its medina is famously painted in shades of blue, a tradition said to repel mosquitoes and symbolize the sky and heaven. Upon arrival, you’ll check into your hotel or riad, rest, and enjoy a short evening stroll as the sun sets over the blue-washed alleys. Overnight in Chefchaouen.
After breakfast, we begin a guided exploration of Chefchaouen. We hike up to the historic mosque perched on the mountainside—the only one in the city located at such a height—offering panoramic views of the entire blue medina below. You’ll have time to take photos, enjoy a coffee, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. After 2–3 hours on the hilltop, we descend into the heart of the medina for a walking tour through its charming cobalt streets. Discover local crafts, traditional woolen hats (like the iconic *Chefchaouen hat*), handmade pottery, and aromatic spices. Lunch is served at a traditional restaurant in the medina. The afternoon is free to relax at your accommodation or wander at your own pace. Enjoy your second night in this serene mountain town.
After breakfast, we begin our return journey to Fes along the same scenic route through the Rif Mountains. We’ll make a short stop for coffee, restroom breaks, and to enjoy one last view of the green highlands. Continuing through the countryside, we arrive back in Fes in the afternoon, where you’ll be dropped off at your original accommodation. This marks the end of our 3-day cultural and scenic tour from Fes to the enchanting Blue City of Chefchaouen.
