Chefchaouen Tours

What to bring

• Bring a compact bag for the Riad stay. Many Riads in the Medina are inaccessible by car, and you may have to carry your bag a short distance.
• As you may stop at a religious site, ensure shoulders and knees are covered for that portion of the trip.
• Riads are beautiful but often have thin walls. If you are a light sleeper, earplugs help drown out the early morning Call to Prayer.

What’s not allowed

• While private, please respect local customs. Drinking alcohol in the vehicle or in public spaces in the Medina is prohibited.
• Flash photography in the Kasbah: To preserve the artifacts and respect other visitors, please turn off your flash when inside the museum area.

Accessibility

• Riad access: Most traditional Riads have steep stairs and no elevators. If you require a ground-floor room, please notify the vendor immediately after booking.
• This is a long journey from Casablanca. The vehicle features AC and frequent stops, but it is best suited for travelers who can handle 4-5 hours of seating.

Additional information

• You will receive a mobile voucher instantly. The exact pickup time is confirmed via WhatsApp the evening before departure.
• Breakfast is included, but water is usually not. Buy a 5-liter bottle at a "Hanout" (local shop) before heading to your Riad to save money.

• Tips

What to bring

• Motion sickness medication: 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.
• Small change (Dirhams): 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

• Pets are not allowed on this experience.
• These are private cars, not buses. 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.

Accessibility

• Chefchaouen is not wheelchair friendly due to hundreds of stairs and steep inclines. However, Jeff Transport uses modern minivans that are easy to board for seniors.
• A baby carrier is recommended 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

• Be prepared for a long journey, with about 4 hours of travel each way between Fez and Chefchaouen.
• 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 MAD) to take a photo there.

• Small change (Dirhams): Essential for public restrooms (usually 5–10 DH) and small purchases from local mountain artisans.

What’s not allowed

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

• Departure is around 9am, with return to Tangier expected around 6pm, depending on traffic.
• 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.
