From Tangier: Chefchaouen Day Trip

Discover the "Blue Pearl" of the Rif Mountains and the hidden white Medinas of Tetouan with a travel style that fits your budget and pace.

Getting started

Your day begins at the Tangier Port (Ville) or your city hotel, where you’ll meet your professional driver. Depending on your choice between a shared minivan or a private vehicle, you’ll head south into the rugged Rif Mountains. The transition from the Mediterranean coast to the lush, green mountain peaks is dramatic, and the 2.5-hour drive includes a scenic pause overlooking Nakhla Lake to help you settle into the mountain rhythm.

What to expect

If you’ve selected a Chefchaouen & Tetouan trip, you’ll double your cultural intake. You’ll explore the UNESCO-listed Tetouan, known for its Andalusian architecture, before heading to the blue-washed dreamscape of Chefchaouen. Here, you’ll have hours to wander the sapphire-colored streets, visit the Kasbah, and see the Ras El Ma waterfalls.

For those choosing Chefchaouen only, the day is dedicated entirely to the Blue City, providing more time for a long, traditional lunch at a rooftop restaurant in Plaza Uta el-Hammam. Regardless of your variant, the return journey is timed perfectly with the evening ferry departures, ensuring you get back to the coast safely and stress-free.
