Excursion From Fes To Chefchaouen

Start a day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen, the stunning “Blue Pearl” of Morocco. Beginning after breakfast at your Riad/Hotel around 8 AM, this journey unfolds in a city renowned for its enchanting blue-hued architecture. Nestled near Tangier and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, Chefchaouen’s unique charm is heightened by the mountain tops’ shape, resembling the horns of a goat. Explore vibrant markets offering a myriad of native handicrafts, allowing you to shop for exclusive items like wool garments, woven blankets, and the renowned local goat cheese. Beyond the city’s cultural richness, venture into the picturesque countryside recognized for its role as a prolific source of kief, solidifying Chefchaouen’s status as one of Morocco’s main cannabis producers. Immerse in the growing tourist industry, particularly popular with Spanish visitors during Catholic feasts, and uncover the historical visit of Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell in 1967, adding a fascinating layer to the rich tapestry of Chefchaouen’s cultural heritage.
