Fez → Al Hoceima → Tetouan — Self-drive tours in Morocco

Heads up: the longest leg takes about 5 h of driving. Leave early in the morning and do not overload the schedule.

Discover another side of Morocco on the turquoise waters of Al Hoceima and the coves of the Mediterranean coast. Take a seaside break before continuing to Tetouan, a city with a rich Andalusian heritage. Between beaches, Rif panoramas and historic alleys, this tour invites you to slow down, explore and enjoy the journey independently.

Practical tips

Best time to go : April to October on the coast (cool Atlantic wind)
Use the guarded car parks near the medinas and visit on foot: leave the car at your hotel.
Book your accommodation in advance in high season (spring, autumn and school holidays).
Refuel before long stretches (mountains, desert) and keep some change for tolls.
Indicative budget: car rental from €18/day, plus fuel, tolls, accommodation and meals.
