Tour Overview
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.
Day by Day
Open each day to discover the route, stops and experiences planned during your private journey.
Day 1
Your 4-day Tangier to Chefchaouen tour begins with pickup in Tangier.
Leave the coastal city and travel inland toward the Rif Mountains. As the journey continues, the surroundings become greener and more mountainous.
Arrive in Chefchaouen and begin exploring the town at a relaxed pace.
Walk through the blue-painted medina, where narrow streets connect small squares, local shops and traditional neighborhoods.
Chefchaouen is one of northern Morocco's most distinctive destinations, and spending the night gives you more time to enjoy the town instead of returning to Tangier the same afternoon.
After exploring the medina, enjoy a free evening and experience the quieter atmosphere of Chefchaouen after the busiest part of the day.
Spend the first night of your journey in Chefchaouen.
Day Highlights
Day 2
Enjoy a relaxed morning in Chefchaouen before continuing your journey toward Fes.
Take some final time to walk through the medina, enjoy the mountain views or explore streets you may have missed the previous afternoon.
Leave Chefchaouen and travel south through the changing landscapes of northern Morocco.
Arrive in Fes later in the day.
Fes is one of Morocco's most historic cities and offers a very different experience from the smaller mountain town of Chefchaouen.
Spend time discovering the old medina, where narrow streets lead between traditional markets, workshops, historic buildings and residential neighborhoods.
Depending on your arrival time, sightseeing can be adapted to the pace of your journey.
Spend the second night of the tour in Fes.
Day Highlights
Day 3
After breakfast, leave Fes and continue west toward Meknes.
Meknes is one of Morocco's historic imperial cities and offers a quieter atmosphere than Fes.
Spend time discovering some of the city's historic areas and traditional architecture before continuing the journey.
From Meknes, travel toward Rabat.
Rabat is Morocco's capital and combines historic neighborhoods with a more open and relaxed city atmosphere.
Depending on your arrival time, explore part of Rabat and discover some of the areas that reflect the city's long history.
This part of the journey adds two very different Moroccan cities to your Tangier and Chefchaouen route before the final return north.
Check into your accommodation and spend the night in Rabat.
Day Highlights
Day 4
