Overview
Not every Morocco journey needs the desert. This seven-day round trip from Tangier focuses on the north — its mountain towns, imperial cities and Atlantic coast — at an easy pace.
You spend two nights in Chefchaouen, so there is a whole day to wander its blue lanes, then two nights in Fes with a guided walking tour of the medina. On the way back to Tangier you visit Volubilis, Moulay Idriss and Meknes, the capital Rabat and the seaside medina of Asilah.
