Fes to Chefchaouen 2-Day Tour Itinerary

Day 1: From Fes to visit Meknes then to Chefchaouen

Join our 2-day tour from Fes to Chefchaouen and start your journey with a visit to the historic city of Meknes. After a scenic drive of less than an hour, you will arrive in Meknes and visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Volubilis was once the administrative center of the kingdom of Mauretania, and its well-preserved ruins offer a glimpse into Morocco’s ancient past.

Next, head to Bab El Mansour, one of the most iconic architectural gates in Morocco. It is the main entrance to the old medina of Meknes and a testament to the city’s imperial grandeur.

Continue to Heri-Es Souani, one of Moulay Ismail’s finest architectural projects. This vast water reservoir once supplied Meknes with water and housed over 12,000 horses. Visitors can explore the reservoir and learn about its fascinating history.

Finally, visit the prison of Kara, an old underground prison built in the 18th century. This mysterious prison is said to have held many prisoners, including a Portuguese prisoner whose name it bears.

After a full day of exploring Meknes, you will be transferred to Chefchaouen to spend the night at a traditional riad or hotel.

Day 2: Visiting Chefchaouen and back to Fes

After a delicious breakfast at your traditional riad, we will pick you up to start your exploration of Chefchaouen and Akchour.

Our first stop is the Grand Mosque, the oldest mosque in Chefchaouen, located in the central Place Outa Hmmam, near the city’s historic kasbah. Marvel at its intricate architecture and learn about its rich history.

Next, we will take a walk through the picturesque streets of Chefchaouen, admiring the vibrant blue-washed buildings and charming alleyways. Be sure to stop at the Plaza Uta El Hmmam, the largest square in the city, to capture stunning photos and soak up the lively atmosphere.

After lunch, we will drive for about 40 minutes to the charming village of Akchour, nestled in the Rif Mountains. Here, you will have the opportunity to embark on a hike through the lush forests and cascading waterfalls, or simply relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

At the end of the day, we will return to Fes, where our unforgettable 2-day tour concludes.

Amazing Journey to the blue city

Ahmed's impeccable English and engaging explanations made the journey from Fes to Chefchaouen a breeze. We were captivated by the historic city of Meknes, especially the town of Volubilis and the Plaza.... The waterfalls of Akchour and Chefchaouen as a whole were the highlights of our trip. For a comprehensive visit to the charming city of Chefchaouen, this tour is highly recommended!

Beautiful views & friendly guide

A family of seven, we visited Morocco in late September. Finding a travel agency was challenging, but we ultimately chose Touring In Morocco after reviewing the top-listed companies. My mother desired a trip to Chefchaouen only, but we decided to book the 2-day excursion from Fes to Chefchaouen, including a visit to Meknes. Upon arrival in Meknes, we were awestruck by its beauty and architecture, particularly Volubilis, the gate, and the unique prison. Chefchaouen was equally breathtaking, with the Rif Mountains hike, the plaza, and the mosque being must-see attractions. The Akchour cascade was a highlight, providing an opportunity to relax and hike before returning to Fes. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to visit the blue pearl.

The best 2-day tour from Fes

Visiting Morocco in July from Spain, we flew to Fes and searched for a travel agency. After reviewing the top search results, we found Touring In Morocco's 2-day Fes to Chefchaouen trip, including a visit to Meknes and its attractions. We booked the tour and were very satisfied with the service. Our knowledgeable guide, Hassan, shared many insights into Moroccan history and culture. His English was excellent. We also visited the Akchour waterfalls and hiked the Rif Mountains, which we thoroughly enjoyed despite the short duration of our trip. Thank you again, Hassan! We look forward to returning and having you as our guide again.
