Chefchaouen sits in the Rif mountains, roughly 3.5 to 4 hours’ drive north of Fez. Its medina, painted in shades of blue, is small and easy to explore on foot.
A private car lets you leave early to beat the crowds, choose your stops and stay as long as you like. Many travellers also do it one way and sleep in Chefchaouen before continuing to Tangier.
Short on time? The trip combines well with a stop in Ouezzane on the way back.

Questions
Is Chefchaouen worth it as a day trip from Fez?
Yes if you only have one day, but it is a long drive. If you can, sleeping one night there is more relaxed.
