5-night, 6-day tour from Tangier to Fez

Arrival in Tangier in the morning (please note that there may be a time difference depending on the time of year).
After passport control and collecting our luggage, we will meet our driver who will accompany us throughout the tour. We will head to Cape Spartel, where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea meet the Atlantic Ocean. Next, we will visit the Caves of Hercules, 5 km away.

We will then continue to the charming town of Asilah, whose medina is surrounded by massive stone formations built in the 15th century by the Portuguese. Its white houses, adorned with wrought-iron railings, 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 see 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.

After breakfast, we'll head towards Tetouan, a city known as "The White Dove" for its luminosity and the predominant color of its houses. Once there, we'll visit the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, accompanied by a local guide. We'll be able to appreciate the Andalusian influence, as it was the capital of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco for many years. Accommodation and dinner at a riad in the Medina or a 4-star hotel.

Today we'll travel to Chefchaouen, a city nestled at the foot of Mount Tisouka (2,050m) and Mount Megou (1,616m), whose Berber name means "Look at the Horns," referring to the two peaks that dominate the landscape. Along the way, we'll make a detour to the Akchour Waterfalls to stretch our legs and take some photos. Once in "the blue city," we'll embark on a guided tour with a local guide. The blend of unfamiliar voices and sounds will lead us through the winding alleyways to our meeting point and resting place, Uta el-Hammam Square, where we can observe the comings and goings of the locals and admire the beauty of the Grand Mosque. We'll then continue our tour with a visit to the Kasbah (built in the 17th century) and its gardens. A few steps further on, we'll find Makhzen Square. We'll 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, we'll stroll down to the stream, soothed by the gentle sound of water, to watch the women doing their laundry and see the watermills still in operation. This lovely path will take us to Rif Sebbanin, the washing quarter, with Sebbanin Square and its 15th-century mosque. Overnight stay and dinner at a riad in the medina.

This morning we'll depart early for Meknes. En route, 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. On our way to Meknes, we'll 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.

Arrival in Meknes, one of the most beautiful and powerful imperial cities in Morocco. 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 capital of the country in the 17th century. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even today, it is protected by some forty 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 many mosques, hence its nickname, "the city of a hundred minarets." After the visit, we will travel to Fez, approximately 60 kilometers away. Accommodation and dinner in a riad in the medina or a 4-star hotel.

Note: This is the last day of vehicle use.

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

At the agreed time, pick-up at the riad or hotel and transfer to Fez airport to catch your return flight.
