About this experience

Chefchaouen is a small medina in the southern part of Morocco. It is considered by many as one of the most beautiful places on earth. The city is perfect for exploring, from visiting all the restaurants, to wandering through the ancient, winding streets.

Enjoy this private tour to Chefchaouen from Tangier. Tangier has been Europe's gateway to Africa during many years, and it has been the home for many different cultures during it's whole history (it has been under Morocco's control only since 1956).

Chefchaouen is known for its unique blue houses. From a distance, the town looks like it has been painted this beautiful color. In fact, it's one of the few places in the world with such a water-resistant paint. One thing is certain: Chefchaouen is certainly not your average Moroccan town!

Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

The Chefchaouen is a small, breathtaking village with red roofs and white walls and a dazzling turquoise sea that stretches out to the horizon. It’s a true Moroccan experience.

2

The medina, or old city, of Tangier is an open air museum. It is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It's well worth exploring for the many small shops and stalls on offer to buy everything from Moroccan jewellery to fresh seafood, or just to soak in the atmosphere of this fascinating African city.

3

The first cemetery in the world to be preserved by UNESCO, Chefchaouen's medina houses the largest concentration of historic monuments in Morocco.

Once a cemetery, Chefchaouen became a tourist destination. Once a destination, it became an artists' colony, and then an impoverished suburb of Tangier. Then the Moroccans moved in and transformed it into an oasis of Moroccan culture .

Stop 4 Pass by

The cascades d'Akchour is a natural waterfall in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. The falls are located near Tinghir, in the foothills of the mountains. The falls are most spectacular during monsoon season, when water levels are high and rainstorms frequent.

In the heart of Chefchaouen, Morocco, Lina Ryad & Spa offers a rooftop terrace with a view on the Medina and hammam treatments. The spa is a haven of relaxation in an exotic environment, where you can indulge your senses and refresh your mind.

The list of treatments proposed by Lina Ryad & Spa is varied and with a touch of luxury. The Moroccan Hammam is one of the most popular treatments offered. This treatment starts with an aromatic scrub before moving to a steam room and then to the hammam, where you will be soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, you can enjoy a cold towel treatment before your face is covered in fruit enzymes to turn over the film layer on your skin.

The Moroccan Hammam was considered by Forbes Magazine as one of the top five spas in the world, and it is the only one to have been awarded a five-star rating.
