Tangier Arrival – Chefchaouen
Your 4-day imperial tour from Tangier begins with a warm welcome at the Tangier port or airport. We immediately leave the coast and climb into the Rif Mountains toward the sapphire city of Chefchaouen. Famous for its strikingly blue-washed buildings and peaceful atmosphere, it is the perfect introduction to the unique aesthetics of Northern Morocco. Spend your afternoon wandering the cobblestone streets, shopping for local wool garments and woven blankets, or simply enjoying a mint tea in the Outa el-Hammam square. As the sun sets, the city takes on a magical glow, offering a tranquil start to your historical adventure.

Walking through these ruins, you will see the remains of the Basilica, the Triumphal Arch, and vibrant floor mosaics still in their original places. From here, the 4-day imperial tour from Tangier continues to Meknes, one of the four Imperial cities.
