Itinerary

Morning: The Journey to the Blue Pearl

Leave Fez behind as we embark on a scenic drive through the Rif Mountains towards Chefchaouen. Established in 1471 by Moulay Ali Ben Rachid, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad, Chefchaouen was founded as a fortress to defend against Portuguese invasions.

As we approach, the landscape transforms into a mesmerizing blue-and-white canvas. The name “Chefchaouen” comes from the Berber word for “horns,” referring to the twin peaks that crown the region.

Midday: Azure Medina Discovery

Wander through the labyrinthine streets of the medina, where every corner reveals a new shade of blue. The blue color is believed to symbolize the sky and heaven, and some say it helps repel mosquitoes.

Visit the historic Kasbah Museum, a 15th-century fortress built to protect the city. Inside, explore the ethnographic museum showcasing traditional Moroccan art, musical instruments, and historical artifacts.

Afternoon: Mountain Vistas & Local Treasures

Ascend to the Spanish Mosque, constructed in the 1920s during Spanish colonial rule. Perched atop a hill, it offers panoramic views of the town nestled within the mountains.

Return to the medina to explore local artisan shops, where you can purchase handmade crafts, textiles, and pottery. Enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine at a local café before we depart.

Evening: Twilight Return to Fez

As dusk settles, we begin our journey back to Fez, reflecting on the day’s experiences and the rich history of Chefchaouen.
