By afternoon, you’ll arrive in Chefchaouen — the legendary “Blue City.” Wander cobblestone alleys painted in every shade of blue imaginable, browse handwoven textiles, and watch the sunset turn the mountainside a soft lavender. This is Morocco’s most photogenic town, and tonight, it’s all yours.

Into the Imperial City”
Say goodbye to the blue streets and journey south through the pine-covered Rif foothills toward Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital.
Step into the Fes El Bali medina, a UNESCO World Heritage labyrinth of over 9,000 alleyways — the largest car-free urban zone on Earth.

From Cedar Forests to Endless Dunes”
Depart Fes and cross the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Azrou, home to ancient cedar forests and the wild Barbary macaques who call them home.
Continue through the dramatic Ziz Valley, past oasis palm groves and Berber villages, as the landscape transforms into golden desert.

“The Road to the Red City”
