Together with your family, and at your own pace, discover the vibrant and fortified Medina (old town) of Fes, the cultural capital of Morocco, with the help of a local. Your private tour guide will meet you in the morning and lead you through the twisting maze of cobbled streets as you pass markets, shops, mosques, and more. You'll explore lively souks, learn about medieval Marinid architecture, and visit historical monuments as you absorb Fes' old-fashioned charm.

Fes is the oldest and longest-running imperial city in Morocco, offering a fascinating mix of sites to see. Because this is a private tour, your guide can cater the day to your interests. You'll pass through the Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud), a Moorish gate with three arches acting as the old town's main entrance. Wander through the Mellah (Jewish District and cemetery), admire the city's old walls, and walk up to the Marinid Tombs, a hilltop archeological site hosting the ruins of two 14th-century mausoleums (and a great spot to return to for sunset).

There are many other interesting sites within the Medina. You can't miss the famous Chouara Tannery, with its large assortment of colorful leather dyes and traditional techniques from centuries ago. (Get a roof-top view from a local tannery by offering a small tip.) The Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University is the world's oldest continuously operating university, founded in the 9th century. You can also stop at Bou Inania Madrasa or Al Attarine Madrasa, two 14th-century schools featuring beautiful Marinid and Moroccan architecture and zellij tiles. Or discover local artisans at Nejjarine Museum, a historic inn now operating as a collection of arts, crafts, and wood carvings. 

When hungry, your guide will take you to one of the Medina's best eateries to try local cuisine. Taste dishes such as couscous, shakshuka, makouda (spiced battered potato cakes), slow-roasted mechoui lamb, and more. All include various spices to bring out the best in Moroccan flavors. 

After lunch, you can peruse the bustling souks (markets) to find unique, hand-crafted goods. With your guide leading the way, you'll wander through alleys, streets, and open-air squares to discover various products. Enjoy the bright colors of rugs, jewelry, and leather goods, or indulge in the towers of spices, dried fruits, and culinary delicacies. Admire dainty lamps, intricate wood carvings, and hand-painted ceramics. 

Next, wander to some of the other city sites, such as the Royal Palace of Fes (Dar el Makhzen). This is the King of Morocco's residence, built on the foundation of a citadel from the 13th-century Marinid Dynasty. Or check out another museum, like the Borj Nord, with its collection of weapons and armor from several eras and incredible roof-top views.

Meals: Breakfast Included
Duration: 4 hours

 Enjoy a comfortable private transfer from Fes to your accommodation in the "Blue City" of Chefchaouen, which takes about four and a half hours. Along the way, your driver will stop in the imperial city of Meknes and the Roman ruins at Volubilis. To make the most out of your morning, enjoy one final panoramic view of Fes from the Marinid Tombs before leaving the city.

Your first stop is in Meknes, the imperial city of Moulay Ismail. Under Moulay Ismail's reign (1672–1727 CE), Meknes grew from a small town to a magnificent capital. Enjoy strolling through the compact Medina, which is less busy than other cities and offers a more laid-back atmosphere. Other than the scattered souks (markets), you can visit the Marinid-era architecture at the 14th-century Medersa Bou Inania and the impressive 19th-century palace of Dar Jamaï. In the Ville Impériale area, explore gardens, palaces, the impressive gate of Bab al-Mansour, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, and the Royal Stables.

Continue to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing Morocco’s best-preserved Roman ruins. Wander through the massive complex, exploring large merchant homes with visible heating systems, temples, and many colorful mosaics. This town was one of the most remote parts of the Roman Empire, with the Romans ruling about 200 years and leaving in 285 CE. The people of Volubilis exported wheat for the rest of the empire. In addition, they sent many wild animals (lions, bears, elephants) to the capital for feasts, celebrations, and sacrifices, sadly wiping out much of the population. Next, continue to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a town spread over two hills at the base of Mount Zerhoun. It was here that Moulay Idriss I arrived in 789, bringing with him the religion of Islam, and starting a new dynasty. In addition to founding the town named after him, he also initiated the construction of Fez, continued later by his son, Moulay Idriss II.

As you leave Volubilis behind and head toward Chefchaouen, enjoy the scenic 3-hour drive through flat plains, forested hills, and small villages in the Rif Mountains. After settling into your accommodation, head out to explore Chefchaouen, or simply “chaoeun,” as the locals call it. Twist through the city's Medina and its winding maze of picturesque streets while appreciating the relaxed atmosphere.

Beautifully perched beneath the raw peaks of the Rif, Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest towns in Morocco, an artsy, blue-washed mountain village that feels like its own world. It was founded in 1471 by Idrissid shorfa, descendants of the Prophet Mohammed, as a stronghold in the fight against the Portuguese. Chefchaouen, esteemed as a holy town, has eight mosques and several zaouias and marabouts.

 Prepare yourself and your kids for an extraordinary expedition to the captivating "Blue City" of Chefchaouen, Morocco (referred to as "Chaoeun" by the locals). This remarkable destination offers a plethora of awe-inspiring attractions, delightful streets, and captivating landmarks that will leave a lasting impression. It's akin to stepping into a realm of enchantment.

Chefchaouen is a distinctive town where the old part, known as the Medina, prohibits the entry of cars and motorbikes. This feature allows you and your family to freely roam the narrow streets, joyfully ascending and descending the steps to your heart's content. It is a veritable playground waiting to be explored.

Moreover, when you desire a respite from the exhilaration, a delightful spot awaits you by the river in the northeastern section of the town. Local families gather there, offering freshly squeezed orange juice to quench your thirst. But that's not all! You can also immerse your feet in the cool water while seated at tables and chairs near a mini waterfall. It provides a rejuvenating and tranquil experience for the entire family.

Now, let's turn our attention to the traditional meeting place in Chefchaouen, known as the Place Outa El Hamam square, conveniently situated adjacent to the Kasbah and Grande Mosque. While entrance to the Kasbah requires a fee for adults and access to the mosque is restricted, fear not, young ones! The square offers an abundance of amusement. You can revel in live music, indulge in delectable ice cream, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere. It serves as an ideal setting to forge cherished memories together.

So, grasp your children's hands and embark on a family-friendly voyage to the enchanting world of Chefchaouen. Prepare to be astounded and revel in a marvelous exploration of this extraordinary mountain village adorned in shades of blue.

Meals: Breakfast
Duration: 3.5 hours

Start your tour in the Medina (old town) and explore its labyrinth of commercial and residential alleyways. Wander around Petit Socco Square, known for its buzzy markets, craft shops, and cafes. This is a great place to grab a bite to eat or people-watch. For an incredible view over the city, visit the cannons at Faro Square and savor scenes of the Medina, harbor, and Bay of Tangier.

The 15th-century Portuguese Tangier Kasbah (fortified castle) is small and compact enough for a self-guided walk. Pass through Bab Haha (a historic gate with sea views) and enter Place du Mechouar.  

Take a camel ride along the beach
Hop on a camel and take a short ride along the beach. With no safety harnesses, be sure your child is able to hold the handle tight during the jerky ride.

Explore Hercules Caves
Mythology has it that Hercules retired there once his exploits were accomplished and that he dug the Strait of Gibraltar by moving the mountains (the Jebel Tarik of Gibraltar in Europe and the Jebel Moussa in Africa, near Ceuta).

For some, it was here that the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, god of the sea, lived, whom Odysseus blinded during his journey. In truth, these caves would have been dug in the Neolithic period, the rock being exploited for various works and tools. Inside these caves, a main corridor leads to several rooms. Openings with characteristic shapes are cut out in the walls and allow you to see the ocean. The most "nice" opening has the shape of the map of Africa! We can even notice Madagascar!

Hang out with a real-life snake charmer
Your kids’ jaws will literally drop as they become enchanted by the charmer and his two tambourine-tapping assistants. Just like that, a live snake rises up and curls out of its basket! Kids will love posing for pictures with a (life-like looking plastic) snake around their necks! 

Meals: Breakfast
Duration: 4 hours

It's early morning in Tangier, and you're all geared up for a day of beach fun with the little ones. There's a buzz of excitement in the air as you pack your cooler with snacks and sunscreen, ready to hit the sandy shores.

Arriving at the beach, the kids burst out of the car, their energy infectious. They're already racing towards the water, eager to feel the sand between their toes and the salty breeze in their hair. You set up camp under a colorful umbrella, laying out towels and blankets for a cozy spot to relax. As the kids get to work building sandcastles, you take a moment to soak it all in. The sound of waves crashing against the shore is like music to your ears, and the sight of your family having fun warms your heart.

Before long, tummies start rumbling, signaling it's time for a beach picnic. You spread out a feast of sandwiches, fruit, and cool drinks, enjoying the salty tang that seems to enhance every bite.

Back to the water! The kids are unstoppable, splashing around and giggling as they ride the gentle waves. You join in on the fun, feeling like a kid again yourself.

As the day rolls on, you find yourselves lost in the moment. Whether you're playing beach games, taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, or simply lounging in the sun, time seems to stand still in the best possible way.

As the sun begins to set, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, you gather your sandy belongings, feeling grateful for the memories made today. With tired but happy smiles, you head home, already looking forward to your next beach adventure.
