Fes & Chefchaouen

Fes & Chefchaouen · Morocco · Saïss

A medina so labyrinthine that GPS gives up and hiring a guide becomes the only sane option, leather tanneries dyeing hides in vats of colour the way they have for a thousand years, and a blue-washed mountain town nearby that photographs better than it has any right to.

The best time to visit Fes & Chefchaouen is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (80°F). Local time there is 03:26 (UTC+1).
