Tour Plan

Day 01 Tangier Airport/Port to Chefchaouen

We will pick you up at the Tangier airport or port to begin the journey toward Chefchaouen, the famous and picturesque blue city of Morocco. Founded in 1471 by Andalusian exiles (both Jewish and Berber), you will have the afternoon free to explore the city, nestled in a valley surrounded by the high Rif Mountains.
In Chefchaouen, the blue color spreads across every corner, blending the horizon with the sky.
In this peaceful northern town, we will stroll through its charming blue streets, admire the beautiful scenery around you, discover its many artisans and merchants, and enjoy a traditional mint tea while sitting in a terrace in the main square.
Overnight in Hotel/Riad.

Day 02 Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Fez

After breakfast, we continue our journey to the ancient imperial city of Fez, passing through the Roman ruins of Volubilis in northern Africa.
Volubilis is located near the city of Meknes, between Rabat and Fez.
It is the largest Roman settlement in Morocco and the best preserved in North Africa, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
This archaeological site is fascinating; the most important pieces recovered from Volubilis are displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Rabat. However, walking among the ruins is truly impressive.
We will have lunch in the holy city of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, also declared a UNESCO cultural heritage site, with a medina full of steep alleys climbing the mountainside. Its status as a holy city has helped preserve its traditions over time.

In the afternoon, we will arrive in Fez.
Overnight in Hotel/Riad.

Day 03 Cultural Visit of Fez

Fez, the first of Morocco’s Imperial Cities, preserves the true essence of Moroccan history.
With a local guide, we will explore:

The ancient part of the city, filled with craftsmen, spice stalls, carpet shops — a walk filled with countless aromas, colors, and flavors.
Chouara Tanneries, where we will admire the impressive traditional leatherwork.
The Karaouine Mosque (the oldest university in the world)
The Mellah (Jewish Quarter)
Ceramic workshop
Royal Palace

Afternoon at leisure.
Overnight in Hotel/Riad.

Day 04 Fez – Tangier

After breakfast, we depart toward Tangier.
We will visit the Hercules Caves, a natural grotto where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. This large cave has entrances from both land and sea, and its famous opening resembles the shape of the African continent — even more impressive when viewed with the sea in the background.
We continue to Cap Spartel, located on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, perched on a rocky hill with a lighthouse whose light is visible from many kilometers away.
Overnight in Hotel/Riad.
