From Tangier to Marrakech in seven days: the blue town of Chefchaouen, Roman Volubilis, Meknes, Fes and the Middle Atlas.
The Blue Pearl & Imperial Morocco is a north-to-south journey that is ideal if you arrive from Spain. It begins in Tangier, spends a night in the blue town of Chefchaouen, visits the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes, and gives you a full day in the medina of Fes.
The route then crosses the Middle Atlas through Ifrane and the cedar forests and stops at the Ouzoud waterfalls before arriving in Marrakech.
