Itinerary
Day 1
Senior-focused itinerary using the activity agenda: early pickup in Casablanca, scenic transfer with a short stretch break, arrival and easy-paced exploration of Chefchaouen, optional Kasbah Museum visit, relaxed lunch, Ras El Ma spring, then return to Casablanca.
07:00 – Hotel pickup in Casablanca (meet your driver)
Driver will meet you at your hotel or accommodation in Casablanca. Brief orientation: itinerary for the day, rest-stop preferences, and mobility needs (we can arrange an infant/booster seat if needed).
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to park as close to your hotel entrance as possible to minimize walking.
- Confirm any mobility needs (walking stick, wheelchair space) so the driver can assist with luggage and boarding.
- Keep a small bag with essentials (medication, phone, small water bottle) within easy reach during pickup.
07:30 – Scenic transfer: Casablanca → Chefchaouen (first leg)
Begin the comfortable drive north through coastal plains and farmland. The vehicle is air-conditioned with bottled water provided.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a window seat on the right side for better coastal scenery early in the drive.
- Use the onboard Wi‑Fi or download offline maps/photos before departure if you want to review them later.
- If you feel any stiffness, ask the driver to do a short stop sooner rather than later — the schedule is flexible for comfort.
09:30 – Optional coffee & stretch: Bouznika Plage (short break)
Short 15-minute stop at Bouznika beach area to stretch legs, use restrooms and enjoy fresh sea air — an easy, flat stop with seating nearby.
Tips from local experts:
- There is flat access from the main road to the beach promenade — avoid the sand if mobility is a concern.
- Public restrooms and small cafés are available near the promenade; carry small change for toilets or quick purchases.
- If you prefer to skip the beach stop, tell your driver and they will continue; there is no obligation to walk far.
09:45 – Scenic transfer: continue to Chefchaouen (second leg)
Resume the drive into the Rif Mountains. Comfortable pace with panoramic views as you approach Chefchaouen.
Tips from local experts:
- The route climbs into the mountains; if you are prone to motion sickness, take a preventive tablet before this leg.
- Ask for a brief window stop near viewpoints if you'd like a quick photo — the driver knows safe pull-over spots.
- Keep warm layers handy; temperatures can drop slightly as you gain elevation into the Rif range.
12:00 – Arrival: Uta el-Hammam / Outa el Hammam Square (easy orientation)
You’ll arrive at the main square — an ideal starting point with benches and cafés. Driver can drop you close to ground-level entrances to minimize steps.
Tips from local experts:
- The square has several benches and cafés with terrace seating — choose shaded seating to rest while orienting yourself.
- Ask the driver to drop you on the lower edge of the square where cobblestones are flattest; some alleys steepen quickly from the center.
- Carry small-denomination dirhams for restroom fees or small purchases; many small cafés are cash-preferred.
12:30 – Gentle stroll through Chefchaouen Medina (blue alleys) — accessible route
Leisurely 60-minute walk along the flattest blue-painted streets and artisan shops; driver or local assistant can help with steeper sections if necessary.
Tips from local experts:
- Stick to the main arteries (near Uta el-Hammam and the Kasbah) which are the flattest and have more benches.
- Wear comfortable, supportive shoes with good grip; many surfaces are cobblestone but some alleys are level.
- If standing for long, use café terraces as resting points — cafés usually welcome guests even for a quick seat.
13:30 – Optional visit: Kasbah Museum (short cultural stop)
Optional 30-minute visit to the Kasbah Museum and its garden courtyard — mostly level with seating and an easy courtyard path.
Tips from local experts:
- The Kasbah courtyard is mostly flat; the small interior rooms have low thresholds — ask staff to suggest the most accessible route.
- There are shaded benches in the Andalusian garden — a good place to rest while someone visits the museum rooms.
- Entrance is optional and modestly priced; if mobility is restricted, enjoy the courtyard and skip steep staircases inside.
14:00 – Relaxed rooftop lunch near Uta el-Hammam (traditional Moroccan cuisine)
One-hour seated lunch at a rooftop restaurant with panoramic medina and mountain views. Menu offers simple, familiar dishes and staff happy to accommodate dietary needs.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a ground-level or terrace table with minimal steps when booking for easier access.
- Choose dishes that are low on spice if preferred; staff can prepare milder options and help with portion sizes.
- Ask for bottled water and check restroom accessibility before ordering — restaurants in the square typically have accessible toilets or ground-floor options.
15:00 – Ras El Maa spring & easy leisure time (gentle paths, seating)
Short walk to Ras El Maa Spring — a calm spot where mountain water flows into the town. Plenty of seating and short, mostly-flat paths nearby for relaxed exploration and photo opportunities.
Tips from local experts:
- The path from the medina to Ras El Maa is short but can have uneven stones; use the flatter riverside walkway where possible.
- Bring a light jacket — mountain breezes near the spring can feel cool even on warm days.
- If walking is tiring, sit at one of the riverside benches and enjoy people-watching; the area has several cafés with shaded seating.
16:30 – Depart Chefchaouen for Casablanca (comfortable return)
Board the private vehicle for the return journey. There is flexibility for a short photo stop or restroom break en route if needed.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm rest-stop preferences with the driver before leaving so stops are timed with your comfort in mind.
- Keep essential medications and a light snack in an accessible bag for the longer leg home.
- If you prefer to avoid mountain roads in low light, request extra breaks earlier so the drive back stays comfortable.
21:30 – Drop-off at your Casablanca hotel
Driver assists with luggage and ensures you are safely returned to your accommodation — end of day.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to help you to your accommodation door and check your belongings before leaving the vehicle.
- If you feel fatigued, request the driver remain until you are settled at reception.
- Keep a small tip ready in local currency for the driver (optional) — it helps with luggage assistance after a long day.
