Day trips from Fes
These are our day trips from Fes: Meknes and Volubilis, the blue city of Chefchaouen and the Middle Atlas, with Ifrane and the Azrou cedar forest. All are private, with pick-up from your riad or hotel and a driver who speaks English, Spanish, French or Italian.
Exploring from Fes
Fes makes a good base for northern Morocco. It has an international airport and a medina worth at least a full day, and three very different landscapes are within easy reach: the imperial cities and Roman ruins to the west, the Rif Mountains to the north and the forests of the Middle Atlas to the south.
Our day trips from Fes
- Meknes and Volubilis: the richest in history, with little driving.
- Chefchaouen: the most popular, but also the longest, with almost 4 hours each way.
- Middle Atlas: nature an hour from Fes, with cedars and macaques; a good choice with kids.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question?Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll answer you in your language.
WhatsAppWhat are the best day trips from Fes?
The three classics: Meknes and Volubilis for history, Chefchaouen for the blue city and the Middle Atlas for nature with little driving.
Can I do a day trip from Fes to Rabat or Casablanca?
They aren’t among our day trips: Rabat alone is around 3 hours each way. Both cities are on the route of the 7-day tour from Fes and the 5-day tour from Tangier to Casablanca, which passes through Fes.
Is Chefchaouen worth a day trip from Fes?
It’s doable, and it’s the most popular day trip from Fes, but it means almost 8 hours in the car there and back. If you have time, stay the night: we explain why in our Chefchaouen guide.
Can I go from Fes to Marrakech in a day?
Not as a return day trip: it’s about 6 hours on the motorway each way. Make it part of your trip instead: the 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech goes via the desert, the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley.
