Every shade of blue, from sky to indigo, painted on steps, doors and walls: that is Chefchaouen, the little mountain town that has become one of Morocco’s most photographed places. This private Chefchaouen day trip from Fes takes you through the green hills of the Rif to spend the day in its medina, then brings you back to Fes in the evening.
Founded in 1471 and shaped by Andalusian refugees, Chefchaouen feels calmer and cooler than the big imperial cities. You wander alleys lined with potted plants, sit on Outa el Hammam square facing the red-walled kasbah, and follow the stream to the Ras El Ma spring. To finish, walk up to the Spanish Mosque for a panoramic view over the blue roofs.
With your own driver, you set the timing: early for empty photo spots, or later for golden light. Love the north? Our 10-day Morocco tour gives you two full nights in Chefchaouen.
