A morning drive out of Fes opens onto the Rif Mountains: olive terraces slip past the windows, and the air sharpens as the vehicle climbs. By midmorning the blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen come into view, houses climbing the hillside like stacked postcards. The town’s medina and the Kasbah draw visitors into a compact maze of shops, cafés, and terraces with Mediterranean glimpses.

Book a morning departure

Small vendors and cafés may prefer dirhams for quick purchases; ATMs exist but are not always in small towns.
Stay hydrated
Bring a refillable bottle—the driver provides bottled water but mountain air and walking increase thirst.

Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
