Itinerary

Morning: The Journey to the Blue City

We depart Rabat and travel through the fertile plains and small towns of northern Morocco towards the Rif Mountains. As we ascend, the landscape transforms into rugged hills dotted with traditional villages, terraced fields, and winding rivers. Your local driver shares stories of the region’s history, Berber communities, and the unique mountain way of life, giving context to our journey.

Midday: Arrival in Chefchaouen

We arrive in Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous “Blue Pearl,” renowned for its striking blue-washed streets and Andalusian-inspired architecture. Together, we wander through the medina’s labyrinthine alleyways, visit the Kasbah Museum with its historic fortress and ethnographic exhibits, and explore artisanal workshops producing woven textiles and handcrafted pottery. At the main square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, we stop for photographs, local snacks, and to watch daily life unfold.

Afternoon: Panoramic Views

We climb to the Spanish Mosque on a nearby hilltop to enjoy panoramic views of Chefchaouen nestled in the Rif Mountains. We take in the surrounding valleys, terraced hillsides, and the town’s blue labyrinth below. Returning through the medina, we discover hidden courtyards, traditional cafés, and vibrant street art, learning about local culture, history, and the town’s origins as a refuge for Andalusian exiles in the 15th century.

Late Afternoon: Return to Rabat

We begin the journey back to Rabat as evening approaches. Along the way, we reflect on the day spent exploring azure alleyways, historic landmarks, and panoramic mountain scenery, taking with us lasting memories of Chefchaouen’s serene beauty and cultural richness.
