5 Days from Tangier to Fes via Chefchaouen & Meknes

Our Tangier-to-Fes crossing with an extra day, so Meknes and Volubilis each get proper time rather than a single afternoon between them.

Tour highlights

  • Chefchaouen's blue medina
  • Volubilis Roman ruins
  • Meknes and the Bab Mansour gate
  • Two full days in Fes
  • The Al Qarawiyyin university

Itinerary

Day 1 — Tangier to Chefchaouen

We climb into the Rif via Tetouan, arriving in Chefchaouen in the early afternoon with time to explore its blue lanes.

Day 2 — Chefchaouen to Meknes via Volubilis

We visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis on the way south, then spend the afternoon in Meknes — the Bab Mansour gate, the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail and the Heri es-Souani granaries — staying the night in town.

Day 3 — Meknes to Fes

A short drive to Fes, with the afternoon free to get your bearings in the medina.

A full day with a local guide: the tanneries at Chouara, the Al Qarawiyyin mosque and university, the Bou Inania Madrasa and the souks around them.
