6-night, 7-day tour from Fez to Tangier

Arrival in the late afternoon/evening at Fez Airport. Depending on the time of year, there may be a time difference. Once through passport control and baggage claim, we will meet with the transfer that will take us to the 4-star hotel or riad in the Medina. Overnight stay and dinner.

Today we will visit Fez-el Bali, or in other words, the old Medina of Fez, one of the most authentic and best-preserved in the entire Arab world. We will walk through its labyrinthine medieval alleys where craft centers, mosques, and palaces are hidden amidst the bustle of its people.
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 in time to medieval times. We will do so accompanied by a local guide, always on foot, as motor vehicles are prohibited in this UNESCO World Heritage Medina. In the afternoon, we will continue the tour, seeing how the different neighborhoods are laid out, 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 will be able to hear the last call to prayer. Accommodation and dinner in a Riad in the Medina or a 4* hotel

This morning we will depart early for Meknes, one of Morocco's most beautiful and powerful imperial cities. Visit 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, most notably the "Bab al Mansour," a large gate considered one of the most beautiful and well-preserved in the country. The city is home to imposing monuments, including many mosques, hence its nickname "the city of a hundred minarets." We will visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the "Heri es Souani" granary-stables, and the "Habs Qara" underground prison. At the end of the visit, we will head to Chaouen. Along the way, we'll visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the largest Roman archaeological site in Morocco: the Arch of Triumph, 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, with its beautiful white houses surrounding the mausoleum, remains a spiritual center, a protected place that transports travelers to another time. We continue to Chefchaouen, "the blue village," approximately 160 kilometers away. Overnight stay and dinner at a riad in the Medina.

This morning, accompanied by a local guide, we will visit Chefchaouen, a city located at the foot of Mount Tisouka (2,050 m) and Mount Megou (1,616 m). Its name in Berber means "Look at the Horns," referring to the two ridges that dominate it. The mixture of unfamiliar voices and sounds will guide us through the winding streets to the meeting and resting point, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, where we can observe the comings and goings of its people and the beauty of the Great Mosque. We will continue visiting the Kasbah (built in the 17th century) and its gardens. A few steps further we will find Makhzen Square, where we will take an alley that leads northeast to Bab el-Ansar and the Ras el-Maa fountain, one of the most beautiful places in Chefchaouen. In the afternoon, at our leisure, to the relaxing sound of running water, we will walk down to the stream to see how the women do the laundry and how the watermills still work. This beautiful path will take us to the Rif Sebbanin, the washhouse district, with Sebbanin Square and its 15th-century mosque. In the afternoon, we will head towards Tetouan, detouring along the way to the Akchour Waterfalls to stretch our legs and take some photos. Arrival in Tetouan, accommodation and dinner in a riad in the Medina or a 4-star hotel.

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, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we will appreciate the Andalusian influence, as it is worth remembering that for many years this was the capital of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco.
We will 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, decorated 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 lovers. We will freely tour the Medina, where we can see some of its most important gates, such as Bab Homar (the Land Gate), opened under a tower; Bab el Bahar (the Sea Gate), next to the square Portuguese tower that dominates the entire city; and the Bab Kasbah, in the northern area surrounded by gardens and facing the Muslim cemetery. You can also enjoy a sunset on one of its wonderful beaches in the north. Accommodation in a riad in the Medina

This morning, at the scheduled time, we will depart for Tangier. Along the way, we will visit the Grottoes of Hercules and then, 5 km away, Cape Spartel, where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea meet the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to Tangier and stay in a 5-star hotel or riad. Free time to explore the city at your leisure. Overnight stay and dinner at the riad or 5-star hotel.

Note: Last day with chauffeur-driven vehicle

At the agreed time, pick up from your riad or hotel and transfer to Tangier airport for your return flight.
