Marrakech to Casablanca is one of the busiest routes in Morocco, linking the country’s best-known tourist city with its economic capital and its main international airport. About 245 km of motorway separates them, and you can cover it by train, bus or car in roughly three hours. The choice is not always obvious. The train…
Fes to Meknes is one of the easiest and cheapest journeys between Morocco’s imperial cities: around 55 to 60 km, a train that takes well under an hour and fares that are low even by Moroccan standards. That makes it tempting to treat the trip as an afterthought. It deserves a little more attention than…
Rabat to Tangier is one of the easiest long journeys in Morocco, and one of the few where the best option is clear for most travellers. The Al Boraq high-speed train covers the roughly 240 km in well under two hours, while the bus takes more than three and a half hours and the drive…
Casablanca to Rabat by train is one of the simplest journeys in Morocco: frequent services, a short ride and stations that put you in the middle of each city. It is also a trip where small choices matter, such as which Casablanca station to leave from and whether to get off at Rabat Ville or…
Knowing how to plan a Morocco route is the difference between a trip that flows and one that feels like a series of long transfers. The country’s best-known places are spread over hundreds of kilometres, and the order you visit them in matters more than which ones you choose. Arrange them well and each day…
Chefchaouen to Tangier is one of the easiest journeys to add to a northern Morocco itinerary. The two cities are only about 110–112 km apart by road, and direct buses connect them throughout the day. By car, the journey can take around two hours in normal conditions, while the bus usually takes about 2½ to…
Fes and Chefchaouen are two of the most natural stops to combine on a northern Morocco itinerary. One gives you one of the country’s richest historic medinas; the other trades that intensity for blue-painted streets, Rif Mountain scenery and a much slower pace. The journey between them is straightforward, but the best way to travel…
Chefchaouen is small enough that a single well-planned day can cover its essential sights without making the visit feel rushed. The famous blue medina, Uta el-Hammam Square, the Kasbah, Ras El Maa and the Spanish Mosque can all fit naturally into one route, with plenty of time for lunch, coffee and wandering along the way….
Two days is the realistic sweet spot for Fes enough time to properly cover Fes el-Bali’s essential landmarks on day one, then slow down and explore the city’s quieter corners, the Mellah, and its artisan quarters on day two, without the rushed pace a single day demands. This itinerary splits the city logically across both…
Fes deserves more than a single day, but if that is genuinely all you have, you can still experience the part of the city that makes it unlike anywhere else in Morocco. The trick is not trying to see everything. Fes el-Bali is enormous, dense and deliberately confusing. Its streets were not designed for modern…
