3-Day Morocco Desert Tour from Tangier to Chefchaouen & Fes

Departing from Tangier

Three days from Tangier covers the highlights of northern Morocco that most standard circuits miss: Tetouan’s Andalusian medina (UNESCO), the blue streets of Chefchaouen, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, and the imperial city of Meknes. This region was the cradle of the Moroccan kingdom — Volubilis was a Roman capital, Meknes was the capital of the 17th-century Ismail Empire, and Chefchaouen was founded by Moorish refugees from the Spanish Reconquista.

Your private driver-guide collects you from your Tangier hotel or the ferry terminal on Day 1. The route runs south-east through the Rif Mountains via Chefchaouen, then cuts across the Saiss plain to Meknes and Volubilis. Each stop is given proper time — a guided walk through Chefchaouen’s medina, an afternoon at the Volubilis ruins with their intact Roman mosaics, and a morning in Meknes to visit Bab Mansour and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail.

The three-day format works as a standalone northern Morocco experience or as the first section of a longer journey south to the Sahara and Marrakech. Hotel pick-up in Tangier and drop-off at your final destination included. Request a quote or see our full range of tours from Tangier.
