Private one-day escapes from the imperial city
Day Trips From Fes
Fes is a perfect base for a one-day escape from the city. Three well-loved routes take you north to the blue streets of Chefchaouen, west to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and Meknes, and into the Middle Atlas to Azrou, Ifrane and the cedar forest. Each runs as a private, door-to-door day trip with your own driver-guide.
