Itinerary 1 Day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen

Our one day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen will depart at 08:00 am from your accommodation in Fes. We’ll head north, in an air-conditioned vehicle, for three hours to reach the small town of Chefchaouen. Along the way, you’ll be mesmerized by views of the Rif Mountains and the rolling hills of Ouezzane. Stop to enjoy the landscape, cool air, and capture amazing photos.

Located just inland from Tangier and Tetouan, Chaouen, as referred to by the locals, was founded as a fortress in the 1400s. Chefchaouen is renowned for its dreamy blue-rinsed houses, its artisanal wool products, and delicious, top-quality goat cheese. Its name refers to the shape of the mountain tops above the town, which look like the two horns (chaouen) of a goat. Water is abundant in this hillside town creating a network of mineral-rich caves surrounding the mountains.

Stop on top of the mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Chefchaouen. You’ll arrive at 12:00 PM and have four hours free to explore the small winding streets of the town. Visit the medina to peruse Arab-Andalusian traditions and products. Visit the main square Plaza Uta El- Hammam, where the amazing 15th century Grand Mosque and kasbah sits. This Mosque, with its unusual octagonal tower, was built by Jewish refugees who alongside Muslims escaped Spanish persecution by fleeing to Chefchaouen. Learn about the history and culture of this area at the Kasbah Museum or the Ethnographic Museum which contains musical instruments, antique weapons, and photographs of the old town.

Visit the famous Ras El-Maa Waterfall to breathe in some fresh air while listening to the sound of water and enjoying the green hills. If you keep walking, you will get a beautiful view of the city from the Spanish Mosque, an easy walk up the hill. Enjoy a tasty lunch in the square or from a rooftop restaurant and indulge in some people watching. On a hot day cool yourself with lunch sitting in the riverbed.

In the late afternoon depart for Fez arriving at 08:00 PM.

Our tour lasted 1 day, going from Fez to Chafchouan, we had a very welcoming and friendly guide, Said. We give you 5 stars for your service !!! He went out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable, saw all the amazing places we had to see, and got the perfect photos (even made numerous phone calls for us to try and locate our luggage lost by the airline … and offered to take us away Shopping)! All of our pickups were on time and once they were dropped off we made sure we had everything we needed. Great way to start our vacation!

1 Day trip Chefchaouen blue city from Fez

Chefchaoun is a beautiful city to visit. It is a place where you cannot leave your camera because there are so many beautiful landscapes. The people are genuine and very friendly, so there is no pressure to buy anything. It is worth the detour. Another side of Morocco. Our driver, Mohammed, was fabulous and went out of his way as a tour guide.
