No tour of northern Morocco is complete without a visit to Chefchaouen. But eventually, you'll have to leave the Blue City and get back to Fez. Imagine a comfortable and luxurious private car ride with an English-speaking local driver following the winding roads from the mountains to the plains. Driving with Daytrip will make the 124 miles (200 km) between Chefchaouen and Fez feel like a short distance. The time you’ll spend in the car is around three hours and 40 minutes, but with all the stops you can (and should) take, you can transform the ride into an exciting tour of the region!
Stop at Ouazzane to see its well-preserved mix of Andalusian, Moroccan, Jewish, and Muslim influences. Then there's Moulay Idriss, the holiest site in Morocco which has stayed untouched by time thanks to the protection around the burial site of the great-grandson of the prophet Muhammed.
After touring these or any of the many other fascinating sights along the way, your driver will deliver you to your accommodation in Fez, leaving you ready to explore Morocco's spiritual capital.
Fez is one of Morocco’s most fascinating cities, alive with a deep history, colorful culture and tradition. Founded in the 9th century, Fez quickly grew into one of the world’s largest Muslim cities. Today, the city is a window into the Islamic civilization of Morocco. It’s split into three distinct parts: Fes el-Bali, the ancient walled city, Fes el-Jdid, including the Jewish quarter, and the Ville Nouvelle, the modern section of Fez.
Fes el-Bali, the oldest part of the city, is home to the oldest and continuously functioning university of the world, Al-Qarawiyyin University. The medina of Fes el-Bali is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest car-free urban space on the planet. Navigate the labyrinth of narrow alleys to discover historic mosques and markets that are a riot of colors.
In Fes el-Jdid, or “New Fez”, you’ll find the Royal Palace and its magnificent golden doors. The former Jewish quarter, known as the Mellah, is now mostly Muslim but preserves its distinctly different character with its balconies and open windows, in contrast to the enclosed residential styles of the rest of the city.
In the modern face of Fez, the Ville Nouvelle, you will be greeted by wide boulevards, gardens, restaurants and cafes. Here, you’ll experience a more contemporary Fez just a short distance from the medieval medina.
Traveling from Chefchaouen to Fez will be a smooth trip, especially if you are traveling with Daytrip. In any case, here are some tips to make sure you get to Fez without any trouble.
Avoid heavy traffic and fully enjoy the views of Moroccan landscapes in daylight by beginning your journey early in the morning. An early start means the advantage of cooler temperatures, especially during the warmer months. It also makes any stops you take along the way more pleasant.
While exploring the small towns or rural areas you might pass through on your way to Fes, remember to respect local customs and dress modestly. This is especially important in more conservative areas outside major cities. Greet people with a simple “Salam” to express your respect for the people and their culture. If you want to be ready for spontaneous mosque visits, keep headscarves and djellabas (robes) in your travel bag.
During the trip from Chefchaouen to Fez, there are stretches without many places to stop for food or water. Pack plenty of water and some snacks for the road. Pay extra attention to this if you’re traveling with children or have specific dietary needs. Stocking up on Moroccan snacks like dates, nuts, or local pastries is a great idea.
If you're trying to figure out how to get from Chefchaouen to Fez, your options boil down to taking a bus or a private car service like Daytrip. So the question is do you value the cheapest transportation option, or do you want to turn your travel day into a tour of northern Morocco?
There are direct buses from Chefchaouen to Fez, mainly run by CTM. The ride usually takes four hours and 15 minutes, and with tickets as low as $8 per person, this is the cheapest way to get from Chefchaouen to Fez. However, buses aren't the most comfortable, especially in warmer months when they're hot and crowded. You also won't have the flexibility to explore other towns and sites along the way and will need to figure out how to get from the bus station to your accommodation in Fez.
If you want to tour as much of Morocco as possible, a private car ride from Chefchaouen to Fez with Daytrip is the best option. Your English-speaking driver will pick you up at your accommodation in Chefchaouen (assuming it's car accessible), load up your luggage, and whisk you away to Fez. You'll be much more comfortable than in a bus, with complete control over every aspect of the ride. Communicate with your driver about any of your preferences, or just chat about local culture.
Along the way, you can stop for sightseeing so you can experience much more of Morocco than taking the bus. At the end of the trip, your driver will drop you off at your accommodation in Fez or help you navigate the medina if you're in the car-free zone.
If you didn't drive a rental car from Fez or aren’t returning to Chefchaouen, this isn’t a great option. Private rental car agencies usually require you to return your car to the same location and any that allow a different city dropoff will have an additional fee for this. That said, driving from Chefchaouen to Fez is one of the more flexible options.
The route to Fez follows national roads, such as the N13. You’ll need to be comfortable navigating Moroccan roads, which can be winding and narrow, especially in the mountainous areas around Chefchaouen. Once you get to Fez, the medinas are car-free, so parking and getting to your accommodation can be very difficult.
After you’ve had your fun exploring on the way from Chefchaouen to Fez, now it’s time to dive fully into the rich history and culture of Morocco’s former capital. Here are some of the best things to do when you get to Fez!
The Fez medina is the historic heart of the city with 1000 years' worth of culture and monuments to uncover. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest car-free area in the world, navigating the labyrinth of alleys to discover market stalls, local artisans, ornate fountains, and local hammams is an adventure in itself.
There are a few points you should GPS though, like the Chouara Tanneries, where leather is still made using medieval techniques. And the University of Al-Karaouine, the world’s oldest university. While non-Muslims can only admire it and its giant mosque from the outside, you can visit the historic Medersa Bou Inania College to marvel at the stunning stucco work, intricate wood carvings, and mesmerizing mosaics.
For a truly local experience, visit a traditional Moroccan hammam in Fez. These bathhouses are a place for relaxation and community and an integral part of Moroccan culture. A visit involves a ritual of bathing, scrubbing, and sometimes a massage, leaving you refreshed and ready to walk more in the streets of Fez. Try the Hammam Moulay Yacoub, located outside of Fes, which is renowned for its thermal waters and luxurious service.
If you have a few days, book a Sahara tour for a taste of the Bedouin lifestyle. Most tours are two to three days long, and bring you through the Middle Atlas Mountains, the Ziz Valley, and various Berber villages before reaching the vast dunes of the Sahara Desert. To get the full experience, opt for a tour that includes an overnight stay in a traditional Berber tent camp.
If your visit coincides with the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music in early June, you're in for a treat. This annual event brings together musicians from across the globe, presenting a diverse range of religious and spiritual music in venues throughout the city, including the historic Medina. It's a wonderful cultural exchange and a unique way to experience the spiritual depth of Fez.
The best time to visit Fez is during the spring months from March to May, and fall months from September to November when the weather is comfortably warm and the city's beauty is at its peak. Temperatures average 96° F in the summer, so spring and fall offer an ideal climate for exploring the ancient medina and attending cultural festivals without the extreme heat.

“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”

Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

20. Feb. 2025“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

10. Feb. 2025“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
