As evening falls, settle into your accommodation in Rabat. Enjoy a peaceful night, ready for the colorful discoveries awaiting tomorrow.

Day 2:Rabat ⇢ Chefchaouen

Start your morning with breakfast before setting off toward Chefchaouen, the “Blue Pearl” of Morocco. The four-hour drive winds through gentle hills and rural landscapes, offering a glimpse of traditional village life.

Once you arrive, check into your charming riad and let the magic of this mountain town unfold. Stroll through its blue-painted streets, where every alley seems like a watercolor dream. As part of your 12 Days Morocco Tour From Casablanca, you’ll have the chance to fully embrace Chefchaouen’s tranquil rhythm — browse local markets for handcrafted textiles and leather goods, or simply sip mint tea in a quiet café overlooking the Rif Mountains.
