How long is the Tangier to Fes tour?

This private tour runs 3 days and 2 nights, starting in Tangier and ending in Fes, with a night in Chefchaouen and stops at Volubilis and Meknes along the way.

Why choose the fast crossing to Fes

Most of our Tangier departures continue all the way to Marrakech, which makes sense for travelers building a longer trip around the desert and the south. This version is for the opposite case: travelers whose plans center on Fes and the imperial cities, or who’ll continue their journey independently from Fes using one of our Fes-departure tours, and would rather not add the extra days a Marrakech or desert extension requires.

Route and stops

The route covers the same first two days as our longer Tangier tours — Tetouan, Chefchaouen, Volubilis and Meknes — but stops in Fes rather than continuing south. It’s the same scenic crossing through the Rif Mountains and past the Roman ruins at Volubilis, just without the additional days further south.

A practical first booking after the ferry

Because pick-up is available directly from the Tangier ferry port, this tour is often booked by travelers who’ve just crossed from Spain and want their first few days in Morocco organized as a single private trip, rather than arranging transport separately before deciding on their next move from Fes.

Who this itinerary suits

This is the tour for travelers who want an efficient, scenic route from the Tangier ferry crossing into Fes, without committing to the week or more a full desert-and-Marrakech itinerary requires. If you’d like the Sahara and Marrakech included in one continuous trip instead, our 6-day and 7-day Tangier to Marrakech tours cover that route.

Tour Highlights

  • Pick-up available directly from the Tangier ferry port
  • A night in Chefchaouen's blue-painted medina, tucked into the Rif Mountains
  • The Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site
  • Meknes' monumental Bab Mansour gate and royal stables
  • The fastest way to connect the Tangier ferry crossing with Fes and the imperial cities

Full Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Tangier to Chefchaouen via Tetouan

    Pick-up from the Tangier ferry port, airport or your hotel, and head south through Tetouan, whose Andalusian-style medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, before climbing into the Rif Mountains. Arrive in Chefchaouen with time to see its blue-washed streets before dinner.

  2. Day 2

    Chefchaouen to Fes via Volubilis and Meknes

    Head south out of the Rif Mountains to Volubilis, where mosaic floors and standing columns mark a former Roman provincial capital, then continue to Meknes for the monumental Bab Mansour gate and the vast royal stables built under Sultan Moulay Ismail. Arrive in Fes in the evening.

  3. Day 3

Important Information

  • This tour ends in Fes rather than continuing to Marrakech or the desert — a practical option if Fes is your main destination, or if you're continuing your trip from there using one of our Fes-departure tours.
  • This itinerary does not include a dedicated guided day in the Fes medina; travelers who want that included should consider our 6-Day Tangier to Marrakech Sahara Tour, which adds a full Fes sightseeing day.
  • Pick-up is available directly from the Tangier ferry port, which makes this a practical first booking for travelers crossing from Tarifa or Algeciras.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start this tour right after arriving by ferry from Spain?

Yes — pick-up is available directly from the Tangier ferry port, so this tour works well as a first booking for travelers crossing from Tarifa or Algeciras.

Why choose this over your 6- or 7-day Tangier tours?

This is the fastest option for travelers who only need to get from Tangier to Fes efficiently, without the desert or Marrakech included. If your plans call for continuing further south, our 6-day and 7-day Tangier to Marrakech tours cover that ground instead.

Do we get a guided tour of the Fes medina?

This tour ends with drop-off in Fes rather than a guided medina day. If you'd like that included, our 6-Day Tangier to Marrakech Sahara Tour adds a full guided day in Fes, or you can book a Fes-based day trip separately once you arrive.

Can this tour continue on to Merzouga or Marrakech instead of ending in Fes?

Yes — many travelers use this as the first leg of a longer trip. Once in Fes, our Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour or other Fes-departure tours can continue the journey south.
