The Rif is one of the main ranges of mountains in Morocco along with the Atlas.

You'll enjoy the scenery of the villages where the local Jeballa tribes grow olive trees, figs, grapes, and cereals and live in their typical houses.

The drive takes around an hour and once you arrive in Tetouan, you’ll have a guided walking tour through the Medina. The Medina of Tetouan nicknamed the little Granda or the white dove, was listed by the UNESCO as World Heritage Site thanks to the authenticity, charm and diversity with which it has been endowed.

Appreciate the unique lifestyle with the bustling cafes and vibrant Souks that are divided into sections.

You may want to include a short break for some breathtaking views in front of a stunning Dam and get some coffee/tea or using the restroom.

Once you arrive in Chefchaouen Medina, you'll start your guided tour.

Adjacent to the Medina's Square is the dramatic Kasbah that was built by the Berber warrior Moulay Ali Ibn Rashid in the 15th century to fight against the Spanish & Portuguese Invaders.

The late Sultan Moulay Ismail turned it into main residence in the 17th century and the Spanish used as a prison from 1912 to 1956.

You'll get inspired by the unique architecture of the Great Mosque. Meander around the intricate streets that are painted in blue leading to the Ras el-Ma Spring. The views from this point are stunning with women washing clothes and carpets while boys are playing soccer in the field.

Walk back to the Square following different streets with its bustling souks full of shops that sell small items with affordable prices. You may want to have a delicious meal in the Square while watching the passers-by as a way to fully absorb the local culture.

In the late afternoon, you'll drive back to Tangier through the Rif Mountains so that you can join your ferry or to be dropped off in your accommodation in Tangier.
