Departing from Tangier

Four days from Tangier to Fes via the Atlantic coast gives you the full north-western Morocco circuit: the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima coastal mountains, the blue city of Chefchaouen, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the Atlantic coast at Asilah or Larache, and the imperial medinas of Meknes and Fes. Fes el-Bali, the UNESCO-listed 9th-century medina, is the natural endpoint — Morocco’s most historically significant city.

Departing from Tangier or the ferry terminal, your private driver-guide routes south through Tetouan and Chefchaouen on Day 1, giving you the Rif Mountain experience from the first afternoon. Day 2 visits Volubilis (the best-preserved Roman site in Morocco) and the Bab Mansour gate of Meknes before arriving in Fes. Days 3 and 4 are dedicated to Fes: the medina in the morning with a licensed guide, the tanneries in the afternoon, the Jewish quarter and the Medersa Attarine at your own pace.

This Tangier-to-Fes format is ideal for travellers arriving by ferry and wanting to end their northern circuit in Fes, where they can fly home from Fes-Sais Airport or continue south to the Sahara. All accommodation, breakfasts, dinners, and private vehicle are included. Request a quote.
