Day 1: From Fes to Chefchaouen via Volubilis

The adventure begins early in the morning, with your driver greeting you at your hotel for a private transfer. While the drive is comfortable, it’s the stops that make this journey exciting. First stop: Volubilis, a UNESCO-listed Roman archaeological site. Here, we found ourselves marveling at remarkably preserved mosaics and grand basilicas, all set amid rolling fields. One reviewer noted, “The mosaics are stunning and give a real sense of Morocco’s ancient past.” Keep in mind, entry to Volubilis isn’t included, so budget for that if you’re eager to explore every detail.

After soaking in the history, the drive continues towards Chefchaouen, perched high in the Rif Mountains. The scenery shifts to lush greenery and rugged hills. Upon arrival, the real magic begins—the blue streets. The town’s picture-perfect alleys are a photographer’s dream, with walls painted in shades of blue that seem to glow in the sunlight. Visitors often comment on the peaceful vibe and the opportunity to browse local craft shops selling woven textiles, leather goods, and ceramics.

This town isn’t just about pretty photos; it’s about feeling the relaxed pace of Moroccan mountain life. Spending the afternoon wandering the labyrinth streets, relaxing in a traditional riad, and enjoying the mountain air makes for a memorable intro to Morocco’s diverse landscapes.

Day 2: From Chefchaouen to Tangier via Tetouan and Coastal Landmarks

After a hearty breakfast, the journey continues to Tetouan, often described as Morocco’s “White Dove” for its bright white medina. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a remarkable blend of Islamic and Andalusian architecture. Reviewers highlight the town’s beautifully preserved old city, with many noting it’s a quieter, more authentic stop compared to more tourist-heavy spots.

From Tetouan, the tour heads towards the coast, where the stunning Cap Spartel and Hercules Cave await. Cap Spartel is renowned for its panoramic views where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet—a sight that’s both dramatic and calming. The Hercules Cave, wrapped in legends, offers a glimpse of natural rock formations and sea views that are well worth the visit. Some guests have called it “a jaw-dropping spot with legendary stories to match,” and appreciate the short walk from the caves to the coast for some excellent photo opportunities.

Finally, the tour concludes with a brief tour of Tangier’s medina, where vibrant markets and seaside charm make for a lively end to your Moroccan adventure. The tour wraps up in the late afternoon or early evening, giving you plenty of time to transfer to your next destination or hotel.
