Then you'll explore Oudaya Kasbah, a beautiful seaside fortress with charming blue-and-white streets, peaceful gardens, and stunning ocean views.

As you drive toward Meknes, you'll pass through Morocco's rich farmland where olives, grapes, wheat and many vegetables grow. The green fields and rural villages give you a glimpse of traditional Moroccan country life. When you reach Meknes, one of Morocco's historic imperial cities, you'll see Bab Mansour, the grand entrance gate decorated with colorful tiles, and visit Place el-Hedim, a lively square full of energy. You'll also see the tomb of Moulay Ismail, the powerful sultan who made Meknes his capital in the 17th century.

The final part of your journey takes you to Fes, where you might stop at the famous blue gate called Bab Boujloud before checking into your hotel.

This morning, you’ll spend a few hours discovering Fes, one of Morocco’s oldest and most fascinating cities. Your tour will begin at the grand Royal Palace (Dar el-Makhzen), where you’ll see its stunning 14th-century golden gates—a perfect example of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. Although the palace itself is not open to the public, the intricate designs and massive doors make it a must-see.

Next, you’ll visit the Moulay Idriss Mausoleum, a sacred site dedicated to the founder of Fes and a key figure in Morocco’s Islamic history. While non-Muslims cannot enter the tomb, the surrounding area is full of lively markets and religious significance.

A short walk away is the Mellah (Jewish Quarter), where you’ll learn about Morocco’s Jewish heritage. The quarter has narrow streets, old synagogues, and a unique blend of Moroccan and Jewish architectural styles.

Then, you’ll step into the Fes Medina (Old Town), a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s largest car-free urban areas. Here, you’ll explore traditional marketplaces (souks), where artisans sell spices, leather goods, and handmade crafts. A highlight is the Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed using ancient methods for centuries. You’ll also visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, a beautiful 14th-century Islamic school with detailed tilework and carved wood, and the Fondouk el-Nejjarine, a former merchant inn that is now a museum of wooden arts.

After lunch, you’ll leave Fes and drive toward Chefchaouen, a picturesque town nestled in the Rif Mountains. The journey takes about 3.5 hours, passing through scenic mountain roads with stunning views of valleys, forests, and small villages.

Upon arrival, you’ll take a short walk through Chefchaouen’s famous blue-painted streets, where every corner is perfect for photos. The town has a relaxed, bohemian vibe, with small shops selling local crafts and cozy cafés offering Moroccan mint tea. After exploring, you’ll check into your hotel and have the evening free to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

Today you'll travel from beautiful Chefchaouen to busy Casablanca. The drive takes you through the stunning Rif Mountains, where you'll see green hills, small farms, and traditional villages along the way. We'll stop whenever you want to take photos, enjoy a coffee break, or have lunch at a local restaurant.

The road winds through pretty countryside, changing from mountain views to flatter land as we get closer to the coast. You'll have plenty of chances to see daily life in rural Morocco - farmers working in fields, roadside markets, and maybe even herds of goats crossing the road.

When we arrive in Casablanca, we'll take you directly to your hotel or to the airport if you're flying out. The whole trip takes about 4-5 hours of driving, but we can go at your pace with as many stops as you like.
