The Chefchaouen day trip from Fes starts at about 08:00-09:00 AM with a guide/driver from our team, who will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Fes; so you have to prepare for the long exciting day. Chefchaouen lies 212 km away from Fez.
The drive will take us about 3 hours and 40 minutes without traffic. Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains and represents a popular tourist destination because of its proximity to Tangier and the Spanish commune, is known for its shady alleys, whitewashed houses with blue turquoise doors, wrought iron windows, and tile-covered roofs.
Chefchaouen's most striking feature is the blue paint that is coloring the walls of the Medina in different shapes of blue. Once you've entered the Medina of Chefchaouen you should start climbing to "Ras El Maa Waterfall" which is a very famous water source on the top of a mountain, from which you can see most of the city and discover its mountainous terrain.
On your way to the top, you'll come across the following monuments and symbolic buildings like Place of "Outa El Hamam" which is a square surrounded by cafes and restaurants, a peaceful place to relax. In the square, you'll see the "Kasbah" which dates back to the 18th century, a heavily restored walled fortress that now has a lovely garden on Chefchaouen.
However, your day trip to Chefchaouen from Fes is incomplete if you don't visit the "Grand Spanish Mosque", which was built in the 15th century. Also, you will visit Moulay Ali Ben Rached.
