Highlights
  • Fes - During your day journey from Fez to Chefchaouen, you will have the opportunity to view the artwork of the Mediterranean area. Private transfer from Fes to Chefchoauen.
  • Chefchaouen - The town of Chefchaouen is located at the base of two mountains that resemble horns; these mountains are Megou and Tisouka. During the initial wave of Spanish colonial conquest in Northern Morocco, the inhabitants of this area built a city that still bears their name. They constructed it in order to serve as a safe haven for the resistance. Even the town’s name, which comes from the Tamazight language, translates to “look at the horns” (Moroccan Native Language). Therefore, the blue-washed walls in the interior of the city are a manifestation of the Mediterranean character of the locals who live there. Walking through its winding, labyrinthine alleyways evokes a sense of time travel and transports one to the glorious history of this area, which may be experienced by anybody. Nobody ever leaves this city without having a newfound understanding of what humankind is capable of when working in concert with nature and achieving complete integration.
  • Chefchaouen Medina - The residents of this city have developed a special connection with Mother Nature and the hues that she expresses. They just utilize the color that they observe in the clear blue sky on bright days to paint their homes: sky blue. Their traditional garments are incredibly colorful and feature every imaginable shade. A whole day’s worth of fun is in store for you in this metropolis.
