Day 1 : Tangier – Chefchaouen
We start with a drive through the Rif Mountains, passing the lovely city of Tetoune. To fully enjoy the breathtaking view of the landscape, we come to a stop at the root of the hills of Chefchaouen. The city’s older parts are strongly influenced by Spanish architecture, as the city once was a part of the “Spanish Morocco”. Every street and square is packed with unconventional and brightly colored shops and attractions. Furthermore, there are many restaurants and cafés to be found on the city’s roofs ! A roof terrace like that is also part of the lovely hotel we’ll be staying in. You are free to relax with a wonderful view in the evening.
Day 2 : Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknès – Fes
After a tasty breakfast, we continue our journey to Volubilis, passing by Ouazan and other villages of Rif. In Volubilis, we’ll explore the ancient Roman ruins and learn about this part of Morocco’s history. Hereafter, we travel to Meknès to have lunch. We also sightsee the historic walls of the old city with its big gate Bab el Mansour and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. In the late afternoon, we transfer to Fes for an overnight.
Day 3 : Sightseeing in Fes
This day will be spent exploring Morocco’s oldest city: Fes. Taking a walk through its narrow alleys and beautiful streets first, our guided tour begins at the gates of the royal palace, followed by the Jewish district, where the first Mellah was built in the 15th century. We’ll make sure not to forget Fes’ other culturally and historically important places like the Qarawiyīn University, the traditional tanneries and the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss. You are free to spend the afternoon in the older parts of the city before we have dinner together. The night will be spent in a local hotel.
Day 4 : Fes – Rabat – Casablanca
Fes consists of three main districts: Fes el Bali (an UNESCO world heritage) is the oldest district with more than 9000 tiny lanes bounded by the city wall; Fes el Jedid, or “New Fes”, is home to Jewish culture; and “Ville Nouvelle” being the newest city sector, having been built during the French occupation. Later that day, we drive to Rabat, stopping thereby, and continue our trip towards Casablanca.
