Tangier through Chefchaouen: imperial-city depth in 9 days

Day one stays in Tangier long enough for Morocco read across the water; Fnideq provides the middle contrast through Fnideq's seafront; the closing return belongs to Tangier, with on-foot links and road travel making space for fewer monument-list days.

La storia

In Tangier, the opening is framed by port energy; Tetouan changes the pace through white Rif city; Tangier finishes with hillside streets.

Day 1 gives Tangier, before M'Diq, room for city of strait light; on day 6 before Tangier, M'Diq holds compact Mediterranean harbour town between Tetouan; before Tangier, day 7 separates Andalusian medina in Tetouan. Chefchaouen holds day 8 ahead of Tangier around Rif medina of blue-washed lanes; the span toward M'Diq pauses on day 9 for Tangier's Europe in Tangier.

With trail stages and overland road links around the completed circuit, the itinerary reads Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma through white Rif city in Tetouan; the remaining space allows patient walks through older quarters.

For the move from Tangier toward Ksar Sghir, recheck path conditions between Tetouan and Tangier, suitable equipment, and recovery and dated road conditions at Tetouan and network timings; keep Tangier's final connection open to live conditions.
