7th and 8th Days Ifrane to Fez to Chefchaouen

The route is just under 300 km, allowing ample time for extended visits in these cities. There’s no need to rush to Chefchaouen, as the plan is to enjoy the day's attractions and dedicate the eighth day - a rest day - to exploring Chefchaouen. On this day, you can leave the bike at the hotel and roam the Blue City at your leisure.
I rate these two days of the trip 4 out of 5 stars. While the cities of Ifrane, Fez, and Chefchaouen are stunning and deserve top marks, the roads outside these locations are uneventful, primarily serving as transit routes.

Chefchaouen - the Blue City Postal Card
This journey offers the perfect blend of scenic beauty, rich history, and cultural exploration. Starting off in the quaint town of Ifrane, known as the "Switzerland of Morocco," you'll find a peaceful and refreshing escape from the usual desert landscapes. The Ifrane Lion, a carved stone monument, is a must-see, and the surrounding cedar forests add a serene atmosphere. Stroll through the charming Mohammed V Park and take in the Swiss-style houses - a completely unique sight in Morocco that will make you feel like you've stepped into Europe.
As you head towards Fez, make sure to stop by the iconic Bab Boujloud gate. This magnificent entrance to the old city is a beautiful mix of blue-tiled walls and intricate designs, making it a perfect spot for photos. Wander through the bustling local market, where the scents, colors, and sounds of Morocco come alive. Then, take a trip up to the Marinid Tombs, dating back to the 14th century, for one of the best panoramic views of Fez. From here, you’ll witness the city sprawling beneath you, surrounded by hills and valleys, with a backdrop that beautifully blends history and nature. The tombs themselves, while in ruins, offer a fascinating glimpse into Morocco’s past, making this spot a must-see for history lovers and anyone seeking a breathtaking view.
Finally, head to Chefchaouen, the famous "Blue City," where the striking landscape along the way offers fantastic views of the city perched in the mountains. Once there, you’ll be captivated by the winding streets and blue-painted buildings that make this place so unique.
Overall, this route offers an unforgettable experience, showcasing Morocco’s diverse landscapes and history - from charming mountain towns to vibrant ancient cities. Whether you're a history lover, nature enthusiast, or simply in search of stunning views, this day is packed with memorable moments that will make you fall even more in love with Morocco.
