10 Days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech

Your 10 Days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech begins when our driver welcomes you at Tangier Airport, Tangier Ville train station, ferry port or your hotel.

Depending on your arrival time, you can begin discovering this fascinating northern city. Tangier has a unique character because it sits between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, its location has made the city an important meeting point between Africa and Europe.

During the afternoon, enjoy some of Tangier’s most interesting attractions, including Cape Spartel, Hercules Caves, the Kasbah and the historic Medina. Afterwards, take some time to relax at a local café or explore the traditional streets.

After breakfast, leave Tangier behind and travel toward the beautiful Rif Mountains. The scenery gradually changes as green hills and traditional villages appear along the road.

A stop in Tetouan provides an opportunity to experience another fascinating side of northern Morocco. The city’s historic Medina combines Andalusian and Moroccan influences and offers plenty of opportunities for photographs.

Later, continue toward Chefchaouen, famously known as the Blue Pearl of Morocco. Once you arrive, settle into your traditional riad before heading out to explore the Medina.
