The Experience
The drive up to Chefchaouen takes about three and a half hours, but it honestly doesn’t feel that long. Our driver picked us up right at the hotel—no stress about finding the meeting spot. The van was cool inside, which was a relief since the sun was already warming up the city by 8am. As we left Tangier behind, the landscape shifted fast—olive groves, then those rolling Rif mountains. We passed through a couple of tiny villages where you’d spot locals selling mint or fresh bread from little carts. At one stop, I grabbed a coffee from a roadside café; it tasted strong and earthy, just how I like it.
Once we reached Chefchaouen, our guide suggested a central spot to meet later but let us wander on our own. That’s honestly the best way here—the blue walls twist into narrow lanes, and every corner seems made for photos (though my camera roll is now 90% blue doors). I followed the sound of water up to Ras el-Maa waterfall, where locals were washing clothes in the stream and kids splashed their feet in the cool water. The air smelled faintly of soap and wild herbs. If you climb just a bit higher, there’s this lookout where you can see all of Chefchaouen spread out below—white rooftops and blue walls tucked into green hills.
What’s included
