5-Day Imperial Cities & Blue City Tour from Rabat

5 days

Easy

Five days from the Atlantic capital to the blue mountain town — Rabat's Kasbah of the Udayas, Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis, two nights inside the medieval Fez medina, and an unrushed finish in the blue-painted streets of Chefchaouen.

Three of Morocco's four imperial cities, the largest Roman site in North Africa, and the most photogenic mountain town — done in five unhurried days. This tour starts in Rabat (the calm walkable capital that most travellers skip) and ends in Chefchaouen (the blue town in the Rif), with two nights inside the medieval Fez medina sandwiched in between. The right tour for travellers who want depth over distance.
