Tangier, Chefchaouen & Fes 5-Day Northern Morocco Tour
Tour Overview
Northern Morocco is often overlooked by travelers who fly straight into Marrakech, yet it offers a strikingly different landscape and history: the Mediterranean-facing port of Tangier, the cool blue mountain town of Chefchaouen, and the medieval scholarly city of Fes. This 5-day tour links all three at a relaxed pace, ideal for travelers arriving by ferry from Spain or flying directly into Tangier.
Rather than rushing between stops, the itinerary builds in free time in Chefchaouen for hiking and photography, and a full two days in Fes to properly explore the largest car-free urban area in the world. It ends in Fes, positioning you perfectly to continue south toward Marrakech and the Sahara if you wish to extend your trip.
