Your experience

Unlock the magic of northern Morocco on a journey that blends ancient Roman history with the dreamlike blue corridors of Chefchaouen.

Getting started

Your adventure begins right at the door of your Fez Riad. Meet your driver and settle into a modern, AC-equipped minivan for the climb into the Rif Mountains. If you’ve chosen the Volubilis variant, your first stop is the vast, sun-drenched plateau of the Roman Empire, where you’ll walk among 2,000-year-old pillars and intricate mosaics. For those on direct tours, the drive is a scenic ascent through olive groves and mountain vistas.

What to expect

Chefchaouen is a visual feast. Once you arrive, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Wander the indigo-washed Medina, shop for local wool blankets in the souks, or find a quiet corner at the Ras El Ma waterfall to watch local life unfold. The atmosphere is significantly more relaxed than the Fez Medina, offering a peaceful mountain escape.

Anxious about the 4-hour drive back? Our professional drivers are experts on these mountain roads. Whether you’re sharing the ride with new friends or enjoying the privacy of your own vehicle, the return leg is timed to get you back to Fez in time for a late dinner.

Features

• Dual-heritage route: Combine Roman history and Moorish culture in a single day, a feat nearly impossible by public transport.

• Riad-to-riad service: Enjoy the convenience of being picked up and dropped off exactly where you are staying.

• Climate-controlled comfort: Escape the heat in a modern vehicle designed for long-distance mountain travel.

• Tailored freedom: Every variant offers 4+ hours of free time to lunch and explore without a rigid group schedule.

See the transformation of the landscape as you climb from the plains of Fez into the sapphire-blue streets of the Rif Mountains.
Maximize your time by combining the ancient Roman mosaics of Volubilis with the vibrant indigo alleyways of Chefchaouen in one day.
Travel in comfort with guaranteed door-to-door pickup from your Fez Riad, avoiding the chaos and crowds of local bus stations.
Past travelers highly recommend the "seamless logistics" and "reliable drivers" who make the long mountain journey feel safe and incredibly easy.
Choose between an affordable shared shuttle to meet fellow explorers or a private vehicle for a schedule tailored entirely to you.

Good to know

Walking shoes with grip: Chefchaouen is famously steep with slippery blue stones; supportive footwear is essential for the 4-hour exploration.
Sun protection: The Roman ruins at Volubilis (Variant 95251) have very little shade; bring a hat and high-SPF sunscreen.
Small cash (MAD): You’ll need roughly 70 DH for Volubilis entry and 10–20 DH for small tips or public restrooms.
Motion sickness bands: The drive through the Rif Mountains features many curves; travelers often find these helpful for a smoother ride.
Space in shared minivans is limited. Please restrict luggage to one small daypack per person for maximum comfort.
If on a shared transfer, the driver cannot stop for extra photos to ensure the group returns on time.
