Capital Day — Fez to Rabat
A day in Morocco's capital: the Hassan Tower, the Oudayas Kasbah and Atlantic air, an easy drive from Fez.

Chefchaouen sits four hours north of Fez in the Rif Mountains, and the drive is half the pleasure — olive terraces, market towns and a long climb into cooler air. The town itself is small enough to cover on foot in an afternoon, which is why it works as a day trip rather than an overnight for most people.
You travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver, so the timings bend around you. Most travellers want the medina in the softer late-morning light, lunch on a terrace above the square, and an hour at the Spanish Mosque viewpoint before the drive back. If you would rather spend the whole day photographing the blue lanes, that is fine too.
Collected from your riad or hotel and north out of the city as it wakes up.
A comfort stop in the hills, with olive groves and mountain villages the whole way.
Into the blue medina on foot, starting at Place Outa el Hammam and the kasbah.
A terrace lunch with time to sit, then the lanes at their quietest.
A short walk up for the classic view over the whole blue town and the valley.
Return by the same mountain road, arriving in Fez in the evening.
