Welcome to Morocco! Arrive in the port city, and the gateway between Africa and Europe, of Tangier. You will have the option to either spend time exploring Tangier or continuing on to the striking blue city of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains. Just before you reach Chefchaouen, stop to hike (2-3 hours) through lush vegetation and small pools to enjoy the Cascades d'Akchour (Waterfalls of Akchour) — a tucked away gem. From there, arrive in charming Chefchaouen. Known for its blue-washed buildings in its historic medina, explore its maze-like narrow streets and alleyways which cling to the northern hillside.

Discover Place Outa el Hammam, the main square named for the number of hammams (public baths) which used to encircle it. Find a restaurant or café for a bite to eat, before browsing the many shops offering traditional wares. Visit the Grand Mosque and kasbah (old fortress or fortification). The Mosque was built in 1560 and cannot be entered by non-Muslims (but the view from the outside is still worth a visit). Explore the kasbah and tour a garden, a museum, and even some of its old prison cells. As the evening approaches, follow the streets east and ascend the path leading to the white Spanish Mosque (20 to 30 minutes). Enjoy one last view over Chefchaouen as the sun sets behind the mountains.
