Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival in Chefchaouen
Arrive in the charming mountain town of Chefchaouen, nestled within Morocco’s Rif Mountains. Once you’ve checked in to your riad or guesthouse, take a gentle stroll through the town’s famously blue-painted medina. Meander along narrow lanes lined with craft shops, admire the views from the kasbah, and spend time in Plaza Uta el-Hammam, soaking up the relaxed pace of local life. In the evening, enjoy dinner on a rooftop terrace as the town glows under the setting sun.
Day 2 - Trek to Akchour Waterfalls
Set off for a scenic day in the Akchour region, a lush natural area located just outside Chefchaouen. Embark on a moderate trek through forested trails and river paths leading to the stunning Akchour Waterfalls and the striking rock formation known as the Bridge of God. It’s a refreshing escape into nature, with dramatic landscapes and tranquil spots to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Return to Chefchaouen later in the afternoon to rest or further explore the medina before dinner.
Day 3 - Excursion to Tétouan
Today you’ll take a day trip to Tétouan, a city with strong Andalusian roots and a beautifully preserved medina that has earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Wander through the bustling old town, visit the Ethnographic Museum, and admire the elegant façades of the Spanish-era buildings, including the Royal Palace. Tétouan offers a fascinating contrast to Chefchaouen, blending Moorish and Spanish influences. Return in the early evening and enjoy your final night in Chefchaouen.
Day 4 - Journey to Tangier
Depart Chefchaouen and travel to the coastal city of Tangier, a historic port with a unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences. After checking in to your accommodation, begin discovering the city’s rich character. Explore the medina’s winding lanes, visit the American Legation Museum, and take in the energy of the Grand Socco. Enjoy dinner in the Kasbah, with sweeping views across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Day 5 - Day Trip to Asilah
Travel down the Atlantic coast to Asilah, a tranquil seaside town known for its whitewashed walls and colourful street art. Stroll through the peaceful medina, walk along the Portuguese ramparts, and take in the artistic flair that defines this laid-back town. Asilah offers a slower pace and coastal charm that contrasts beautifully with the bustle of Tangier. Return to the city in the evening, perhaps stopping for a scenic drive along the shoreline.
Day 6 - Tangier and Hercules Cave
Dedicate the day to exploring Tangier’s iconic sights. Begin at Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea converge, then visit the legendary Hercules Cave, steeped in myth and offering impressive sea views. Later, relax at the iconic Café Hafa, perched above the cliffs and favoured by artists and writers through the decades. Spend your final evening in Tangier enjoying dinner at one of the city’s elegant or traditional restaurants.
Day 7 - Departure
Enjoy a leisurely morning in Tangier, whether browsing the souks one last time or taking in the sea views before your journey onwards.
