Tour Overview
Your Morocco journey
Discover mountain landscapes, historic cities and traditional medinas on this private 4-day Tangier to Chefchaouen tour.
The journey begins in Tangier and travels inland through northern Morocco toward the Rif Mountains. Your first destination is Chefchaouen, where blue-painted streets, small squares and a relaxed mountain atmosphere make the town very different from Morocco's larger cities.
Instead of visiting Chefchaouen for only a few hours, you will spend the night there. This gives you more time to explore the blue medina, enjoy the evening atmosphere and experience the town at a slower pace.
From Chefchaouen, continue south toward Fes. Discover one of Morocco's most historic cities, with traditional markets, old neighborhoods, workshops and architecture throughout the medina.
The journey then continues through Meknes before reaching Rabat. These two cities add another side of Moroccan history and culture to the route before you travel north again toward Tangier.
This Chefchaouen tour from Tangier is designed for travelers who want more than a simple transfer between the two cities. Over four days, you can experience the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes and Rabat while traveling in a private vehicle.
If you are looking for tours from Tangier that combine mountain scenery and historic cities without continuing all the way to the Sahara, this route offers a varied journey through northern and central Morocco.
