Overview

Camel ride along the beach, capturing amazing photos in the iconic blue alleyways, and standing at the exact spot where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. We’re heading to North Morocco for the weekend, and we’d love for you to join us!

To make things easy, we’ve already sorted your accommodation, transport, and breakfast each morning. That way, you can just focus on exploring new spots, grabbing great food, and hanging out with a fantastic group of people. It’s going to be a fun, relaxed weekend with plenty of time to see the sights.

We start out in Tangier, where we’ll spend time navigating the historic streets and getting a feel for the local energy. From there, we head up into the mountains to explore the famous blue city of Chefchaouen. It’s a great mix: you get the fast-paced life of a port city followed by the much more laid-back, quiet pace of the mountains.

What to expect
✓
Authentic Moroccan mint tea
It is one of those tiny moments that just sticks with you long after the trip ends.
✓
Wandering the blue alleys without a map
Getting lost is honestly the best way to see Chefchaouen. It is entirely part of the plan.
✓
The Rif mountains as your backdrop
You get to soak in these incredible views for the entire drive up to the Blue City.
✓
A great group of people to share it all with
This is exactly the kind of trip where you end up making actual friends.

You can either book now at the bottom of this page or in our office on Calle Gran Vía 33, 8D. If you have any questions please get in touch with us at [email protected].

Please be advised that in accordance with our terms and conditions the City Card membership cannot be used to obtain discounts for anyone but the card holder.

The trip was incredibly well organized and I had fun all along. Not only did I meet great people but I could also step out of my comfort zone without regretting it. Adam was an incredible tour guide and made it one of the best organized trips I had so far :) (Dragonstone was incredible)

Itinerary

Day 1
Tangier (Friday)
Airport arrival · hotel check-in · optional welcome dinner
Read more

Friday is your arrival day in Tangier. If you arrive from Madrid, we recommend flying in on our recommended Ryanair flight FR3876 landing at 17:50. We’ll be at the airport to meet the group and head straight to our centrally located aparthotel to check in. There are no planned activities on Day 1, so whether you arrive on our recommended flight or earlier, you’ll have time to settle in, freshen up and get a feel for the city at your own pace. If you’re arriving earlier, you’re welcome to make your own way to the city centre by taxi, or we can help arrange a transfer for you (additional fees apply). Either way, we’ll make sure you can store your luggage safely until check-in time later in the afternoon. In the evening, we’ll organize an optional traditional Moroccan welcome dinner featuring live music, local flavors and a great atmosphere. The perfect way to kick things off.

Day 2
Chefchaouen · The Blue City (Saturday)
Complimentary breakfast · guided tour · panoramic hike · free afternoon · return to Tangier
Read more

After your complimentary breakfast at the hotel we hit the road towards Chefchaouen, one of Morocco’s most photographed towns, tucked beneath the Rif Mountains with its iconic blue-washed streets and laid-back mountain energy. We explore the Blue City with a local guide who knows every hidden alley, then head up for a panoramic hike with views over the whole city and surrounding mountains. After that the rest of the afternoon is completely yours. Wander without a plan, shop for local crafts or simply sit in a square and watch the world go by. In the evening we head back to Tangier, where you can rest, grab dinner out or head down to the beachfront area for a drink with the group.

Day 3
Tangier · Cape Spartel · Hercules Caves · Departure (Sunday)
Complimentary breakfast · medina tour · Cape Spartel · camel ride · Hercules Caves site · airport transfer
Read more

We start Sunday with your complimentary breakfast before heading into Tangier’s medina for a guided walking tour through its lively streets, a traditional Moroccan pharmacy and local craft shops. After lunch, we make our way to the coast for one of the most iconic photo stops in Morocco: Cape Spartel, the dramatic headland and lighthouse where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Next, we enjoy a short camel ride along the beach with the Atlantic as our backdrop. Finally, we visit the legendary Hercules Caves site. Exploring the surrounding area is free and great for grabbing a snack or using the restrooms, but if you wish to go inside the actual caves, the entrance ticket must be paid locally. As the afternoon wraps up, we make our way to the airport in time for departure. If you would like to stay an extra night in Tangier, just reach out to us at [email protected] before the trip and we will help organize it. Please keep in mind that if your flight departs earlier in the day, you may miss part of the Sunday tour depending on your departure time.

SIM / e-SIM

Landing in a new country is easier when you’re already online. Here are your options for getting mobile data as soon as you touch down in Morocco.

Physical SIM at the airport
Once you clear customs you’ll find kiosks for Maroc Telecom, Orange and Inwi. A standard tourist data package costs around 30€ (300 MAD). You’ll need your passport to register the SIM.

💡 We recommend getting an eSIM before you travel. It’s cheaper, faster and you’ll have data from the moment you land. Check Airalo for good Morocco eSIM options.
