Day 1: Tangier (Arrival Day)

Our amazing Moroccan adventure kicks off on Friday when you arrive in Tangier (please make sure your flight lands no later than 8am). We’ll meet as a group at the airport (if you are flying in from Madrid with our recommended flight), and after exchanging some money, we’ll be heading to our hotel.

After dropping off our luggage, we will have some time for breakfast before exploring the city center! Our walking tour of Tangier’s medina (old town) will take us through its charming, winding streets. We’ll visit a traditional Moroccan pharmacy where you’ll find all kinds of spices, creams, argan oil, and natural perfumes, and stop by a family-owned craft shop filled with stunning, vibrant Moroccan goods.

After a morning of exploration and some time for lunch, we’ll head back to our hotel for check-in. From then, you’ll be able to enjoy some relaxing time by the beach.

At night, you’ll have the option to join us for a traditional Moroccan dinner with live music, delicious local food and an incredible atmosphere – an experience you won’t want to miss!

For the next two nights, we’ll be staying in an aparthotel conveniently located right in the city center.

Day 2: Chefchaouen – Tangier

On Saturday morning, we’ll kick off our action-packed day with a trip to one of the most beautiful towns in Morocco: Chefchaouen, also known as The Blue City or The Blue Pearl! This stunning town is tucked beneath the rugged peaks of the Rif Mountains and is famous for its artsy vibe and blue-washed streets that make it feel like a fairytale.

Once we arrive, we’ll explore the town with a local guide and enjoy a scenic panoramic hike. After that, the afternoon is all yours to wander the charming streets, snap some amazing photos, shop for local crafts, or just soak in the magical atmosphere.

In the evening, we’ll head back to Tangier to wrap up a fantastic day!

Day 3: Tangier (Departure Day)

On Sunday morning, we’ll head to the coast to visit Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea – a truly stunning spot! Next up is one of the highlights of the trip: a short camel ride along the beach. Get ready to take some amazing photos and create unforgettable memories!

Our adventure continues with a visit to the legendary Hercules Caves. Exploring the caves is optional, but it’s definitely worth it! Just keep in mind there’s an entrance fee if you decide to go inside.

After that, we’ll make another stop for lunch before making our way to the airport about 2.5 hours before our flight back to Madrid.

Important: Please note that the shuttle to Tangier airport is only included if you booked our recommended flight (FR3877) departing at 19:20. If your flight is scheduled earlier or later that day, we’ll be happy to help you arrange a transfer, but please note that additional fees will apply.
