Casablanca to chefchaouen day trip

As part of our Casablanca excursions we arrange a Casablanca to Chefchaouen day trip. Our trip departs from Casablanca early in the Morning heading to the captivating Rif Mountains where Chefchaouen is located. Our professional, experienced and multilingual driver will pick you up from your accommodation in our comfortable, luxury and air conditioned vehicle in order to start your Casablanca to Chefchaouen day trip to the jewel of the north in one of the most memorable and amusing experiences of your lives. Along the way to the Blue Pearl of Morocco, you will be sightseeing and enjoying some magnificent landscapes, the beauty of Mother Nature and the serenity of the Rif Mountains. During our Casablanca excursions, you will witness the beauty of a newly born city which was only established in 1471 as a fortress, from where it grew vastly to become home for over 40000 locals. You will explore one of the most fascinating features of the blue city. The blue paint is just one aspect that adds to Chefchaouen's charm, there’s still doubt and multiple theories concerning the origin of the blue washed walls but nobody knows the exact reason yet. The most famous theory is that the blue paint was first used by the Jewish community in Chefchaouen, which symbolized hope for them after fleeing from Europe. The narrow streets have a European feel to them, but with an obvious Arabic touch. At every turn, at every inch, a photo opportunity awaits.

Much of the old Moroccan-Andalusian architecture remains, although new features have been added over the years. We will guide you through the mesmerizing forests and the purity of fresh mountain air. Upon your arrival in Chefchaouen, you will get to interact closely with the locals and enjoy the handicrafts and the local buildings made with unique and traditional designs which you can only find in Chefchaouen. The mountains surrounding Chefchaouen are famous for producing high quality Cannabis.

With our Casablanca to Chefchaouen day trip, tourists just can’t get enough of Chefchaouen’s innumerable charm. Much calmer and relaxing than Casablanca, Chefchaouen’s most striking feature is, without a doubt, its old city’s picturesque blue painted walls that offer a bright atmosphere and an optimistic feeling, in addition to the streets that are built on a mountain side. Once you’ve entered the Medina of Chefchaouen you should start climbing to “Rass El Ma” which is a very famous water source on the top of a mountain, from which you can see most of the city and peruse its mountainous terrain. On your way to the top, you will come across the following monuments and symbolic buildings like Plaza “Uta el-Hammam” which is a square surrounded with cafes and restaurants, a peaceful place to relax and watch the world go by. Around the square, you will see the ‘’Kasbah’’ which dates back to the 18th century, a heavily restored walled fortress that now has a lovely garden on Chefchaouen.
However, your Casablanca to Chefchaouen Day Trip is uncomplete if you don’t visit “the Grand Spanish Mosque”. Which was built in the 15th century, as well as other monuments. Before leaving Chefchaouen, you should try the delicious goat cheese which is special to the city of Chefchaouen. After rejoicing one of our fabulous Casablanca excursions, we will drive you back to Casablanca, where our driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
