What to bring

• Motion sickness medication: The road through the Rif Mountains is winding; travelers frequently recommend having this on hand for the 2.5-hour drive.
• Comfortable walking shoes: Both Chefchaouen and Tetouan involve steep, uneven cobblestone paths and many stairs.
• Small change (Dirhams): Essential for public restrooms (usually 5–10 DH) and small purchases from local mountain artisans.
• Light layers: Even if it’s hot in Tangier, the mountain air in Chefchaouen is significantly cooler, especially in the shade.

What’s not allowed

• Space is limited, so please stick to one daypack per person.

Accessibility

• If your hotel has car access, please wait at the main entrance or hotel reception for pickup.
• If you are staying in the Old Medina (non-drivable), please wait at one of these meeting points: Continental Hotel Square (below the Continental Hotel, facing the port) or Grand Socco (Place 9 Avril, next to Cinema Rif).
• Pro Tip: If visiting Tetouan, it is the best place to buy authentic leather goods at local prices—it's far less touristy than the Blue City.

What to bring

• The road through the Rif Mountains is famously winding. Even if you don't usually get carsick, travelers frequently recommend having some on hand.
• Comfortable walking shoes with grip. Chefchaouen is built on a hill with smooth, slippery blue stones. You will be walking uphill for most of the morning.
• While the transport is paid, you'll need 5–10 DH for public restrooms and small tips for photos with locals or at the Kasbah.
• Portable power bank: Between the mountain scenery and the blue streets, your phone battery will drain quickly.

What’s not allowed

• Please limit luggage to one small daypack per person to ensure a comfortable ride.
• Morocco has strict laws regarding drones; they will be confiscated at the border or by local authorities if flown without a permit.
• For private tours, the driver will wait up to 20 minutes at your Riad. Beyond that, it may impact your time in the Blue City as the return leg must start on time to avoid night driving.
• Pets are not allowed on this experience.

Accessibility

• Chefchaouen is not wheelchair friendly due to hundreds of stairs and steep inclines. However, Jeff Transport uses modern air-conditioned vehicles that are easy to board for seniors.
• We recommend a baby carrier over a stroller. Navigating the narrow, stepped alleys of the Medina with wheels is extremely difficult.
• Because this is a private tour, you can ask the driver to stop whenever you need a stretch or a break, perfect for elderly travelers.

Additional information

• Tours run rain or shine. In winter (Nov–Mar), Chefchaouen is much colder than Fez or Tangier; bring a heavy jacket.
• Your driver is your logistics expert but is not legally allowed to walk you through the Medina as a guide. They will drop you at the most central point.
• Most "hidden" photo spots in the Medina are actually residents' doorsteps. Some homeowners charge a small fee (5 DH) to take a photo there.
• Be prepared for a long journey, with about 4 hours of travel each way between Fez and Chefchaouen.
