3 Nights

Tangier

Manning the Strait of Gibraltar on the Maghreb coast, Tangier has been a prosperous trading port for centuries. Its potent combination of exotic beauty, one-time status as an ‘international zone’ and crossbreed history had lent it a mysterious air of adventure and romance for ages. With its Mediterranean connections dating as far back as the Phoenician era, over time, Tangier has inspired artists and writers around the world, right from Mark Twain, Delacroix and Tennessee Williams to Paul Bowles and Henri Matisse. Today, travelers continue to flock to its shores, drawn by its rich heritage and cosmopolitan air. The old hillside medina, the view over the strait, the sultan’s palace (now converted into a museum), and the American Legation Museum are just some of the delightful sights that the city offers.

Included activities

Explore Tangier

Explore the popular and vibrant portside town of Tangier. Stroll through the old city or the Medina, once the cultural hub of the rich and the famous, and get a glimpse into the town’s past. Don’t miss the Kasbah, or the sultan’s palace, where you can see astonishingly well-preserved intricate wooden ceilings and a marble courtyard. Head on to the Ville Nouvelle or the new city and settle down on a bench at the aptly named Terrasse des Paresseux or Terrace of the Idle. Capture stunning views of the sparkling blue ocean in the distance and watch the locals going about their daily lives or just relaxing, like you. After refueling yourself with some of Morocco’s famous coffee at one of the many cafes nearby, spend the next few hours at the beach, relaxing under the sun and gazing at panoramic views of the coastline. (Duration: Half Day; Self Explore Activity; No guide & transfers; Entrance fees to museums & tourist spots not included; Fitness Level: Easy; Please bring comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses & hats; Don’t forget to bring your camera.)

Private Half Day Tangier City Tour

Explore Tangier, a crossroads of cultures and former playground of renowned artists and writers. Begin with a short drive passing by the 17th century Sultan’s palace, celebrities’ homes, and the modest tomb of Ibn Battouta, and head to Cape Spartel overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. Enjoy bird watching and camel riding in the garden surrounds, and experience the dramatic caves of Hercules below the lighthouse. Back at Grand Socco, trace the itinerary of Henri Matisse, and settings of his famous paintings. Next up, navigate the quaint labyrinthine alleys of Medina, filled with crafts workshops selling an assortment of vibrant souvenirs. Take a break to savor Moroccan dishes, and enjoy entertainment by Andalusian musicians and belly dancers.

Chefchaouen

A medieval pilgrimage center with numerous mosques and religious sanctuaries overlooked by Morocco’s Rif mountains, Chefchaouen is a paradise for travelers of all shades. Traditional Moroccan and Andalusian flavors rise from the kitchens of this pretty highland village with dreamy turquoise walls and red-tiled roofs. Think shady alleyways, blue-washed rough-hewn stone walls hung with potted plants, and wrought iron windows that offer a peek into steep hilly lanes – Chefchaouen is all this and more. Walk in its beautiful medina and bustling bazaars selling traditional textures and colors, visit the Bab el-Ansar, or take a stroll by the Ras el-Maa. A medieval fortress and ethnographic museum are also tucked by the kasbah. The Seat of Sebbanin and the 15th-century mosque with its soaring minarets are worth a visit too.

Included activities

Explore Chefchaouen on your own

Explore the beautiful town of Chefchaaouen and its many little stories and hidden finds! Known as Morocco’s ‘Blue City,’ Chefchaouen has a rich history dating back to the 1400s, when Moorish and Jewish people fled here to escape the Reconquista of Spain. Stroll at leisure through the quaint streets with their blue walls and stunning mountain scenery. Spend some time in the traditional ‘souks’ or marketplaces of the Old City and Medina where you can appreciate the famous local leather products.

Private Chefchaouen Medina Tour

Roam the old medina of Chefchaouen, a city tucked away in the Rif Mountains. Originally a fortress town, Chefchaouen is now a thriving tourist hub, although quite different and relaxed compared to other tourist centers such as Marrakech and Fez. Observe how its houses and buildings are painted in cool blue hues, a facet of the city that has given it a distinctive look and feel and also elicited much traveler interest. Walk through the narrow winding alleys of the medina, surrounding yourself in blue. Pass by little cafes and restaurants, and shops selling various trinkets. If you are an early riser, do remember that mornings between 7 and 8 am is a great time to appreciate the beautiful effect of the sunlight on the blue walls, and to take in the quiet appeal of the medina before the crowds set in.
