Fes to Chefchaouen Day Trip: The Blue City Escape

Experience one of the most popular Morocco day trips with a full-day excursion from Fes to the enchanting blue city of Chefchaouen. Your day trip in Morocco begins early in the morning with a comfortable private transfer from your accommodation in Fes. The scenic drive takes you through the stunning landscapes of the Rif Mountains, offering panoramic views of rolling hills, lush valleys, and traditional Berber villages. As you approach Chefchaouen, you’ll start to see the famous blue-washed buildings that give the city its nickname, “The Blue Pearl.” Upon arrival, you’ll have ample free time to wander through the medina’s narrow, winding alleys, famous for their calming blue and white hues. This peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the imperial cities. You can explore the Outa El Hammam Square, a central hub with a unique atmosphere, and visit the Kasbah Museum and the Grand Mosque. Chefchaouen is also a fantastic place to shop for unique local handicrafts, particularly woven blankets and wool products. Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant on a rooftop terrace, offering incredible views of the city and the surrounding mountains. In the afternoon, you will begin your return journey to Fes, arriving back at your riad in the evening, with beautiful memories of a truly unique destination.
