Fes is a superb base for exploring northern Morocco, and a private driver opens up a range of rewarding day trips from Fes — from Roman ruins and imperial cities to alpine forests and the blue town of Chefchaouen.
Travel privately, at your own pace, and see far more than any group coach allows.
Meknes & Volubilis
Imperial Meknes and the best Roman ruins in Morocco.
Ifrane & cedars
Alpine Ifrane and the macaque-filled cedar forests.
Chefchaouen
The blue mountain town, a longer but unforgettable day.
Private pace
No fixed group, no rush — your day, your way.
Meknes and Volubilis
The most popular day from Fes pairs imperial Meknes — with its monumental gates and grain stores — with the Roman city of Volubilis, whose mosaics and columns sit in open countryside. Add the hilltop shrine town of Moulay Idriss for a perfect trio.
Ifrane, cedars and Chefchaouen
South of Fes, alpine Ifrane and the Middle Atlas cedar forests (home to Barbary macaques) make a cool, green escape. Further afield, the blue town of Chefchaouen is a longer but rewarding day in the Rif. Your driver handles all the distance.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best day trip from Fes?
Meknes and Volubilis together is the classic, combining an imperial city with Morocco's finest Roman site. Ifrane and Chefchaouen are great alternatives.
How far is Chefchaouen from Fes?
About four hours each way, so it's a long day — some travellers prefer to make it an overnight.
Are guides included?
Your driver provides transport and local knowledge; licensed site guides at Volubilis or in the Fes medina can be arranged locally.
