See Morocco's Blue City in one day. A private driver picks you up at your hotel or riad in Fes in the morning, waits while you explore Chefchaouen, and brings you back the same evening.
A day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen is the easiest way to see the famous Blue City without changing hotel. Chefchaouen sits in the Rif mountains, about 200 km north of Fes. The drive takes around three and a half hours each way, so an early start gives you a relaxed afternoon in the medina and a comfortable return to Fes in the evening.
This is a private transfer with a driver, not a group bus tour. The vehicle is yours for the day: you choose the pickup time, you decide how long to stay, and you can ask for a photo stop whenever the view is worth it. The price is fixed per vehicle — from 1,600 MAD for up to four passengers — and already includes the way back to Fes.
Buses between Fes and Chefchaouen take longer and their timetable leaves little time in the town on a same-day return. With a private driver you leave from your door and come back to your door.
This is a suggested programme. The day is private, so you choose the pickup time and how long you stay at each stop.
Your driver meets you at your hotel or riad. For addresses inside the medina, he meets you at the nearest gate that cars can reach.
About three and a half hours on the road north, through farmland, olive groves and the first slopes of the Rif. Photo and coffee stops on request.
You are dropped at the entrance of the medina. The old town is pedestrian, so from here you explore on foot at your own pace.
Around four hours for the medina, the Kasbah, lunch on Plaza Uta el-Hammam and the walk up to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint. Your driver waits for you.
You meet your driver at the agreed point and start the drive back to Fes.
Drop-off at your hotel or riad, or anywhere else in Fes.
One fixed price for the whole vehicle, for the full day, there and back. The more people share the car, the less each one pays.
| Vehicle | Group size | Price (whole vehicle) |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 1–4 passengers | 1,600 MAD |
| Van | 5–7 passengers | 1,800 MAD |
| Minibus | 8–14 passengers | 2,700 MAD |
| Coach | 15–17 passengers | 2,800 MAD |
