Departing Chefchaouen after breakfast, the road leads south toward the imperial city of Meknes, once the proud capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail’s 17th-century kingdom. Discover the city’s grandeur with stops at Bab Mansour, one of the most famous and ornate gates in North Africa, and the tranquil Sahrij Souani Basin, originally built to store water and grain. You’ll also explore the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture and sacred site. The journey continues to Volubilis, Morocco’s best-preserved Roman archaeological site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk among ancient mosaics, triumphal arches, and stone columns as your guide shares tales of Roman life and lost civilizations. Before arriving in Fes, pause briefly in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, one of Morocco’s most spiritual towns, perched on twin hills. Arrive in Fes by evening, where you’ll settle into a beautifully restored riad in the medina and enjoy a delicious dinner in this historic city.

Today is entirely dedicated to discovering the cultural and spiritual heartbeat of Morocco—Fes, one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the Islamic world. Begin your exploration with a panoramic view from the Royal Palace gates, followed by a walk through the Mellah (Jewish Quarter), offering a window into the city’s diverse past. Stroll through the peaceful Jnan Sbil Gardens, a green haven in the midst of the city. Dive into the labyrinthine medina of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where centuries of history unfold in narrow alleys alive with craftsmen, spice vendors, and curious donkeys delivering goods. Visit the Al-Qarawiyyin University, founded in 859 AD and recognized as the world’s oldest university, and marvel at stunning madrasas like Bou Inania and Al-Attarine.
