Overview: car trip from Chefchaouen to Tangier

If Morocco has an abundance of anything, it is color! After your stay in Chefchaouen, the “Blue City of Morocco,” you’ll make an unforgettable journey across the foothills to Tangier. This drive covers 69 miles (112 km) on modern highways and takes two hours nonstop.

The dark green Rif Mountains will fade from your view on the N2 highway as the land opens up into scrubland with scattered farms until you reach Tetouan. After a stroll through the historic medina with its kaleidoscope of rugs, spices, and jewelry, have a coffee break in the city center.

About Tangier

Tangier’s first inhabitants were the Amazigh (or Berbers), the indigenous people of Morocco. However, Tangier is in an incredibly valuable location and has been the subject of conquest for thousands of years. It is at the crossroads of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and jets out into the Strait of Gibraltar. Its wide, natural harbor is excellent for docking many ships at a time.

With mainland Europe just a short boat ride away and the entirety of the African continent to the south, it is no wonder that many empires have come and gone from its shores for thousands of years.

Things to do when you get to Tangier

Cape Spartel

Watch the sunset from the northwesternmost point of mainland Africa! Cape (or Cap) Spartel is the meeting point of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and you can even see Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar from a distance on clear days.

When is the best time to visit Tangier

Morocco is a North African country only separated from southern Spain by the Strait of Gibraltar. It has a typical Mediterranean climate in the north and gradually becomes more arid as you travel south towards the Sahara Desert. The spring and autumn are the best seasons to travel because of the milder temperatures, with average daytime temperatures around 77°F (25°C). It is sunny and warm but not sweltering.

Avoid traveling around Morocco in the summer. It is incredibly hot, and thermostats regularly reach 96°F (36°C) in the shade. On the other hand, winter isn’t the best time to visit either. Even though Morocco has very mild winters, if you’d like to swim at Tangier’s beaches or work on your tan, it may be too cold between November and February.
