Tangier is located at the furthest point west of Morocco, in northern Africa and only 14 km from Spain and is the main entrance of travelers from Europe. Discover Morocco’s northern cities on this quick 4-day itinerary starting in Tangier. You’ll explore medieval medinas of historic Meknes and Fes, roam blue-painted streets of picturesque Chefchaouen, and discover ancient ruins of the fallen Roman Empire in Volubilis.
Tangier – Chefchaouen
Upon arriving at the port of Tangier, you will be welcomed by your driver. From Tangier, we will drive through the Rif mountains and Tetouen city to enjoy the views of the beautiful mountains until we arrive in Chefchaouen, the Blue City of Morocco, just south of the Mediterranean.
Explore the white and blue washed walls of the Medina with its winding lanes and narrow alleys which are home to numerous souks offering cuisine and artisan works, such as woolen items, intricate embroidery, and goats cheese; all native to the North and not found anywhere else in Morocco. Relax in the square, visit a local farm or visit the Place Mohammed Park which has wonderful views of the Rif Mountains.
