7-Day Northern Morocco Itinerary
A seven-day Northern Morocco circuit works best as a varied loop: start in Chefchaouen, spend two nights on the Al Hoceima coast, continue through Nador and Saïdia to Oujda, then finish in Ifrane. A&D Voyage's Rif and Sharq departure includes five hotel nights, five breakfasts, tourist transport and a professional guide.
The best seven-day Northern Morocco itinerary combines blue-medina streets, Mediterranean coast, eastern souks and cool mountain forests. Chefchaouen, Al Hoceima, Oujda and Ifrane are the anchors.
Days 1–2 — Chefchaouen and the Rif
Begin in Chefchaouen. Use the first evening for the medina and keep the next morning flexible for breakfast, photography or a short Rif walk before the coastal drive.
Days 2–3 — Al Hoceima and the Mediterranean
Continue via the Rif coastline toward Al Hoceima and keep two nights for the bays, cliffs and seafood. The longer stay gives you a real coast day instead of a roadside photo stop.
Day 4 — Nador, Saïdia and Oujda
Travel east through Nador and Saïdia before arriving in Oujda. Plan the evening around the souks and local food, then leave room for the region's slower pace.
Day 5 — Ifrane and the cedar forests
The route turns into the Middle Atlas for Ifrane. Cooler air and cedar landscapes create a clear contrast with the Mediterranean days before the return journey.
Days 6–7 — Return journey
Long road legs are part of this circuit, so pack a small day bag, water and a power bank. Confirm the exact departure date and boarding time before paying.
What the Rif and Sharq departure includes
