Northern Morocco Grand Tour 5-Day

Destinations: Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fes, Tetouan · Duration: 5 days · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Private

The north of Morocco is a region apart — greener, more Andalusian, more Mediterranean — and it rewards travellers who give it a proper loop rather than a single stop. This five-day grand tour connects its finest cities and landscapes into one flowing private journey.

You begin where two seas meet in cosmopolitan Tangier, cross to the white Andalusian medina of Tetouan, then wind into the Rif to the blue lanes of Chefchaouen. From there the road turns south through Roman Volubilis to the timeless medina of Fes.

Along the way you trace layer upon layer of history — Roman, Andalusian, Berber, colonial — while the scenery shifts from wild coast to green mountains to imperial city. With private transport and hand-picked stays, it is the north distilled to its essence.
