Departing from Casablanca

Heading north from Casablanca to Chefchaouen and Fes puts Morocco’s most atmospheric destinations at the start of your journey. The 330km drive from Casablanca to Chefchaouen winds through the Rif foothills via Larache, taking four to five hours by private vehicle. Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel or the airport, and you arrive in the Blue City with enough afternoon light to explore the winding blue alleys of the medina.

Chefchaouen’s cobalt-painted streets look completely different from anything in southern Morocco — the cool Rif Mountain air, the Andalusian architectural legacy, and the distinct pace of mountain life create an ideal contrast to the desert tours many visitors combine this route with. After one or two nights, the road east to Fes passes through Ouazzane before crossing the agricultural plains of the Saiss.

Fes el-Bali — the 9th-century walled medina and UNESCO World Heritage Site — is the natural endpoint for this northern circuit. Two days in Fes gives enough time for the tanneries, the Medersa Bou Inania, the spice souk, and a guided walk through lanes unchanged for centuries. From Fes you can continue south to the Sahara or fly home directly. Request a quote to lock in your dates.
