For your day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen, our driver will pick you up around 8:00 am, after breakfast. If your hotel or riad is inside the medina on a street cars cannot reach, we will confirm the nearest accessible meeting point.
Head north through the Rif Mountains, passing farmland, trees and changing landscapes. Stop at a viewpoint over the dam, take a coffee break and enjoy extra photo stops wherever it is safe to pull over. The drive usually takes around 3 hours 45 minutes each way, depending on traffic and your stops.
