6-Day Imperial Cities & Chefchaouen Tour

Casablanca → Rabat → Meknes → Volubilis → Fes → Chefchaouen → Fes

Trip Overview

Four imperial cities and a blue mountain town

This route strings together Morocco's historic capitals — Casablanca's modern skyline, Rabat's royal quarter, Meknes' royal stables, and the Fes medina — before finishing with two nights in Chefchaouen's blue-washed lanes.

Total driving distance is around 720 km, spread evenly so no single day is a marathon.
