Highlights
- Chefchaouen Medina - Fes Desert Trip’s driver, will pick you up from you hotel or Riad at 8 am for the fascinating drive to the North of Morocco for you to explore the unique and beautiful small city of Chefchaouen, the famous “Blue City” of Morocco. You will drive through the verdant forests, broad, lush valleys, deeply cut gorges and towering mountain peaks that surround the city of Chaouen. \n\nWander through the narrow streets, painted in blue and white, of this peaceful place founded in 1471 by Moulay Ali ben Moussa as a kasbah, or walled fortress which you can still visit today. It has a more recently added and very picturesque garden too. Moving through the blue alleys, with the bright sun reflecting from the walls is a feeling somewhat like walking under a shallow blue sea, an amazing sensation. \n\nThe markets are full of genuine, good quality local handicrafts, with styles not found elsewhere in Morocco; broad brightly coloured ‘sombrero’-like hats, decorated with ornamental thread, hand-woven blankets in bright patterns and a range of woollen clothes. The town square, surrounded by restaurants and cafes where you may be able to sample the delicious local goat’s cheese is another place to enjoy, sit down, relax and breath in the rich atmosphere. \n\nThere are many other monuments to look at, including the 15th century Grande Mosque and the Place Mohammed park with it’s stunning views of the Rif Mountains.\n\nAt the end of the day you will be driven back to Fes and dropped off at your accommodation.

Amazing experience - Our driver was ready for us in the morning and was super helpful with stopping for anything we needed along the way, we stopped at a beautiful lake to take photos and again for some food. The blue city was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting surrounding areas. The driver waited until we were ready and even stopped at a supermarket for us before we got home. 10/10 experience

Highly Recommended - We used Fès Desert trips on our recent trip to Morocco. They picked us up from the airport, we did the one day walking trip in Fès, the day trip to Meknes and Volubilis and then the trip to Chefchaouen with a final transfer to Rabat.
I cannot recommend them highly enough - we had the same driver (Ahmed) for 4 days who was charming, informative and always happy to stop when we wanted to take photos, have coffee or anything else. Our guide on the Fès day trip (Kaoutar) was fantastic; incredibly informative with a good sense of humour and again completely open to tailoring the day to us. The medina in Fès is a complete maze and it was essential to have a guide on our first day to help us get our bearings. I would really recommend this to all visitors.
Finally Nabil who was our main contact and organiser - charming and incredibly helpful. One of our party was ill and we had to change our programme around - Nabil was incredibly flexible and accomodating and so we were all able to get the most out of our trip.
Highly recommended tour company - they are happy to tailor trips to whatever you want and the people that we met were friendly, extremely courteous, informative and made our trip to Fès more enjoyable. Thank you so much!
