The trip at a glance
Between Fes and Chefchaouen the road crosses the pre-Rif hills via Ouazzane. No railway reaches the blue city, so this leg is done by coach, grand taxi or car.
Which option to choose
The direct coach is the most common option for travellers. A car gives the freedom to stop in villages and continue afterwards to Tangier or Tetouan.
