2-Day Private Tour from Tangier to Chefchaouen

Departing from Tangier

Tangier is Morocco’s northernmost city and the natural entry point from Europe — 14km across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain by high-speed ferry. A two-day private tour from Tangier to Chefchaouen covers the first essential contrast of northern Morocco: the cosmopolitan port city that was an international zone for half the 20th century, then the mountain village painted entirely in blue.

Chefchaouen is 120km south-east of Tangier by road, a journey of two to two and a half hours through the Rif Mountains. The road rises quickly out of Tangier through Tetouan — a whitewashed city with its own distinct Andalusian heritage — and then climbs into the Rif highlands before descending to Chefchaouen in its valley setting. Arriving by early afternoon gives you the best light for the blue medina photography and a relaxed first evening.

Day 2 is unhurried in Chefchaouen before the drive back to Tangier or onward to Fes. This two-day format is popular with travellers arriving by ferry from Tarifa or Algeciras and wanting to begin their Morocco journey in the mountains rather than the desert. Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Tangier included. Request a quote.
