Day Trips 🚗


Consider exploring nearby cities like Fez, known for its cultural history, or take a short drive to the picturesque town of Chefchouen for charming colourful views, or one of the other cities.



Chefhouen (4h drive): Known as the "Blue City," this is one of the most colorful places in the world. Located in the Rif Mountains, it’s a peaceful city with streets and buildings painted in sky blue. Perfect for a relaxing stroll and beautiful photos.


Fez (3h drive): Dive into Morocco’s history in this former capital, known for its car-free medina and traditional tanneries. Visit the Bou Inania Madrassa with its stunning architecture and soak up the atmosphere at En-Nejjarine Square.


Meknes (2,5h drive): Often called the ‘Versailles of Morocco,’ Meknes offers beautiful palaces, ancient mosques, and the impressive Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. A city rich in culture and history.


Casablanca (1h drive): This modern city is the industrial capital Morocco and not one of our favorite cities but worthy to mention. Because it is also famous for the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosque in the world, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The old Medina and colonial clock towers are also worth a visit.
