The experience

You're picked up from your Casablanca hotel or airport and driven to Chefchaouen, arriving by early afternoon. The drive crosses into the Rif Mountains, and lunch happens on the road. You'll have the rest of the day to settle into the town before dinner and an overnight stay, so there's no rush to see everything at once.

Day two is the walking part. A local guide takes you through the medina's narrow streets, where nearly every building is painted in shades of blue and white. You'll see Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the main square; the kasbah museum, built in the early 18th century; and the Grand Mosque. The walk covers the heart of the town in a half day, leaving time for lunch before the drive back to Casablanca, where you're dropped at your accommodation.

The guide speaks English, and the vehicle is air-conditioned. Ras el-Maa Waterfall is accessible if you want to explore beyond the medina during your free time in town.
