Tour Overview
Your Morocco journey
Discover imperial cities, Atlantic destinations and the blue streets of northern Morocco on this private 8-day tour from Fes.
The journey begins in Fes, giving you time to experience one of Morocco's most historic cities before traveling west toward Meknes and Rabat.
Visit Meknes and continue to Rabat, where historic areas and the atmosphere of Morocco's capital offer a different experience from the old medina of Fes.
From Rabat, the route follows the Atlantic side of Morocco to Casablanca. Continue north the following day toward Tangier, a coastal city shaped by its position between the Mediterranean, Atlantic and northern Morocco.
The journey then moves deeper into the north through Tetouan and the Rif region before reaching Chefchaouen.
With two nights in Chefchaouen, you have time to explore the blue-painted medina without treating the town as a quick stop. Walk through its narrow streets, enjoy the mountain atmosphere and discover quieter areas at your own pace.
The final part of the tour returns from Chefchaouen to Fes, completing a loop through several very different parts of Morocco.
This eight-day Morocco tour from Fes is designed for travelers who want to combine historic cities with northern Morocco rather than traveling south to the Sahara. The itinerary includes Meknes, Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Tetouan and Chefchaouen while keeping the journey private and flexible.
