Starting our day after breakfast, from Fes to the blue Pearl Chefchaouen. Drive through the breathtaking landscapes of the fertile coastal plains. Continue the road until you arrive in the region of the Rif Mountains which is the heart and location of the quiet blue and whitewashed city of Chefchaouen.

The town offers many native handicrafts that are not available elsewhere in Morocco, such as wool garments and woven blankets. The goat cheese native to the area is also popular. Dinner and night in a guest house.
After breakfast, we will drive toward the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, the well-preserved Roman Empire dating back to 225 BC – where you will see the most beautiful mosaics in Morocco, dating back to the 3rd century BC. After the visit to this unique site, we will visit the sacred town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, and then we will drive back to Meknes to start exploring the Medina of Meknes. This marvelous city was once the capital of Morocco during the reign of Moulay Ismail, thus it is known as the Ismailian capital of Morocco.
It is also known as “the walled city”. You will see the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the Granary, the Sahrij Souani basin, the famous Gate of Bab Mansour, and also the underground Qara Prison, and the Dome of the Ambassadeurs. In the afternoon you will have some free time to wander around the square entertained by storytellers, musicians, and snake charmers. Overnight in Fez
