Day 1 of the itinerary
Arrival at Fez airport in the late afternoon/evening. Please note that there may be a time difference depending on the time of year. After passing through passport control and collecting your luggage, you will be met by a transfer that will take you to your 4-star hotel or riad in the Medina. Accommodation and dinner included.
Day 2 of the itinerary
Today we will visit Fez el Bali, or the ancient Medina of Fez, one of the most authentic and best-preserved in the entire Arab world. We will wander through its labyrinthine medieval alleyways where, amidst the bustle of its people, artisan workshops, mosques, and palaces are hidden.
Fez is undoubtedly the holiest of Morocco's Imperial Cities, as well as the most culturally rich. Strolling through the Old City is like stepping back into the Middle Ages. We will be accompanied by a local guide, always on foot, as motor vehicles are prohibited in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the afternoon, we will continue our visit, exploring the layout of the different neighborhoods, always centered around everyday scenes such as the Mosque, the Fountain, the Oven, the Baths, and the Koranic School. We will have the opportunity to see the famous tanneries, where leather is tanned, and climb to a viewpoint where, before sunset, we can hear the final call to prayer. Accommodation and dinner in a Riad in the Medina or a 4* hotel

Day 3 of the itinerary
This morning we'll depart early for Meknes, one of Morocco's most beautiful and powerful imperial cities. Enjoy a guided tour with a local guide. Its medina is smaller and more relaxed than its neighbor Fez, but no less important. Founded in the 10th century by a Berber tribe, it became the country's capital in the 17th century. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even today, it is protected by some 40 kilometers of walls, the highlight of which is the Bab al-Mansour, a massive gate considered one of the most beautiful and well-preserved in the country. The city boasts imposing monuments, including numerous mosques, hence its nickname, "the city of a hundred minarets." We will visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the Heri es Souani granaries and stables, and the underground prison, Habs Qara. After the tour, we will travel to Chefchaouen. Along the way, we'll visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the largest Roman archaeological site in Morocco: the triumphal arch, the capitol, the House of Bacchus... all form this open-air treasure. We'll also pass through the holy city of Moulay Idriss, who converted the local Berber population to Islam before founding Fez. The city unfolds its beautiful white houses around the mausoleum and remains a spiritual center, a protected place that transports the traveler to another era. We continue to Chefchaouen, "the blue city," which is approximately 160 kilometers away. Accommodation and dinner at a riad in the medina.
Day 4 of the itinerary
This morning, accompanied by a local guide, we will visit Chefchaouen, a city nestled at the foot of Mount Tisouka (2,050m) and Mount Megou (1,616m). Its Berber name means "Look at the Horns," referring to the two peaks that dominate the landscape. The mingling of unfamiliar voices and sounds will guide us through the winding alleyways to our meeting point and resting spot, Uta el-Hammam Square. Here, we can observe the comings and goings of the locals and admire the beauty of the Grand Mosque. We will then continue our visit to the Kasbah (built in the 17th century) and its gardens. A short walk further on, we will reach Makhzen Square. From there, we will take an alley leading northeast to Bab el-Ansar and the Ras el-Maa fountain, one of the most beautiful spots in Chefchaouen. In the afternoon, at our leisure, accompanied by the soothing sound of water, we'll descend to the stream to observe the women doing their laundry and the still-functioning watermills. This charming path will lead us to Rif Sebbanin, the washing quarter, with its Sebbanin Square and 15th-century mosque. Later in the afternoon, we'll depart for Tetouan, making a detour along the way to the Akchour Waterfalls to stretch our legs and take some photos. Upon arrival in Tetouan, we'll check into our riad in the medina for dinner and accommodation
Day 5 of the itinerary
This morning, accompanied by a local guide, we will visit Tetouan, a city known as "the white dove" for its luminosity and the predominant color of its houses. We will visit the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we can appreciate the Andalusian influence, as it was the capital of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco for many years.
We will then continue to the charming town of Asilah, whose Medina is surrounded by massive stone walls built in the 15th century by the Portuguese. Its white houses, adorned with wrought-iron grilles, and the colorful murals painted each year by local artists during the "Moussem," or International Cultural Festival, make it ideal for culture and photography enthusiasts. We will freely explore its Medina, where we can admire some of its most important gates, such as Bab Homar, "Land Gate," located beneath a tower; Bab el Bahar, "Sea Gate," next to the square Portuguese tower that overlooks the entire city; and Bab Kasbah, in the northern area surrounded by gardens and facing the Muslim cemetery. You can also enjoy a sunset on one of its beautiful beaches to the north. Overnight stay in a Riad in the Medina.

This morning, at the agreed time, we will depart for Tangier. En route, we will visit the Caves of Hercules and then, 5 km away, Cape Spartel, where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea meet the Atlantic Ocean. We will continue to Tangier and check into a 5-star hotel or riad. Enjoy free time to explore the city at your leisure. Overnight stay and dinner at the riad or 5-star hotel.
