Our Morocco Happiness Tours driver will meet you in front of your Riad or hotel in Fes and take you to the Rif’s mountains; Chefchaouen or Chaouen as it’s called by locals, beautifully perched beneath the raw peaks of the Rif. On our way we make the first stop in Volubilis which are the ruins of the Roman Empire in Morocco. After the visit we continue our way to Chaouen. Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest towns in Morocco, known for the striking, blue and washed buildings of its old city. The old medina is a delight of Moroccan and Andalusian influence with red-tiled roofs, bright-blue buildings and narrow lanes converging on busy Plaza Uta El Hammam and its restored Kasbah. The city has for long be known to backpackers and the town has rapidly gentrified and offers a range of quality accommodation, good food, lots to do, which makes it a strong alternative to a hectic multicity tour.
Overnight will be spent in the hotel or riad.
Today, you’ll have enough time to discover the area. Wander aimlessly through the narrow streets & alleys, painted in an endless array of blue — turquoise, powder blue, celeste, and robin’s-egg, indigo, cyan, periwinkle. Go shopping for colorful blankets or lamps in the souks hidden throughout the medina. Marvel at the variety of beautiful doorways and detailed tile work that decorate each residence. Sit down at a street cafe, order a steaming glass of mint tea, and watch locals dressed in jellaba robes go about their daily life. Soak it all in — the whole Moroccan experience.
In the afternoon we will return to Fes and leave you at your accommodation.
