chefchaouen

About a 3-hour drive from Fes in the Rif Mountains lies the beautiful city of Chefchaouen aka The Blue City. No guide necessary, as it’s a tiny town and easy to navigate. Leather and weaving workshops line the cobbled streets, and just about every turn allows for a stunning photo op. In the main square of Place Outa el Hammam is a red-walled Kasbah (with a fortress and dungeon) that dates from the 15th century.

We leave Fes at about 8:00 a.m. with stops along the way for photos/breaks. You will have plenty of time to walk the ancient streets, shop for a memento, stop for lunch and get a beautiful henna tattoo if you like.
