This full-day excursion takes you from Fes to the blue city of Morocco, weaving in some of the region’s most striking settings: the Rif Mountains, the blue Medina of Chefchaouen with its whitewashed walls and blue-painted houses, the old-town market, the main square, and the Ras El-Maa spring. You stroll through the medina’s lanes admiring the photogenic doorways, browse handcrafted local goods in the old-town market, pause in the main square where you’ll often hear a blend of Spanish and French in the streets, and visit the Ras El-Maa spring as it flows along the edge of the old city, before returning to Fes.
Every itinerary is fully customisable to suit your preferences and pace.
