Traslado privado de Agadir Airport a ChefchaouenLuxury Travel

Plan on about 10h05 for the 830 km between Agadir Airport and Chefchaouen, following the A7 motorway, the A5 / A3 bypass, the A1 motorway and finally the N2 via Tetouan. Agadir Al Massira (AGA) is the gateway for the whole south-west — charter and low-cost flights for the beach hotels, the surf coast and the Anti-Atlas.

Who makes the Agadir Airport to Chefchaouen trip

Almost everyone booking this leg has just landed at Agadir Airport. Many AGA arrivals are not staying in Agadir at all — they are heading north to the surf villages, south to Tiznit and Mirleft, or even up to Marrakech. Chefchaouen is the destination because visitors come for photographs in the blue lanes, hikes to the Spanish Mosque and Akchour's waterfalls, and a slower mountain pace. After a flight, 10h05 is a long time to spend in a car, so it pays to pick the roomier vehicle class and ask the driver to stop once or twice — the fare does not change.

The road from Agadir Airport to Chefchaouen

Al Massira Airport lies inland at Temsia, about 25 km south-east of the Agadir seafront via the N10. From Agadir the A7 motorway climbs through the argan-covered western High Atlas by Amskroud and Argana — tunnels, viaducts and long views — then descends across the Chichaoua plain to Marrakech. North of Marrakech the A7 crosses the Jbilet hills and the long, flat Rehamna and Chaouia plains past Benguerir and Settat to Mohammed V airport. From Mohammed V a motorway bypass skirts Casablanca's eastern edge and joins the coastal A3 to Rabat, avoiding the city traffic. North of Rabat the A1 passes Kenitra and the Loukkos plain by Larache, with the painted seaside town of Asilah just off the motorway before Tangier. From Tangier the road crosses to Tetouan's white medina, then climbs south into the Rif through green valleys to Chefchaouen. Good places to break the drive: the Settat service area, the Sidi Bou Othmane service area and Asilah's painted medina.

Arriving in Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is the blue-washed mountain town of the Rif, its medina of indigo lanes climbing the slope below two peaks, with a kasbah and a spring-fed river at the top. Cars cannot enter the medina. Drop-off is at Plaza Outa el-Hammam's lower gate, Bab el-Ain, or near the hotel district on the ring road; lanes are steep, so pack light or let the riad send help.

Should you split the journey?

At 10h05 this is a full day in the car. We run it in one day for anyone who wants that — with breaks every two hours or so — but many travellers prefer to split it. The natural halfway point is Rabat: Rabat is a calm capital for a night, with the Kasbah of the Udayas at sunset. Book two one-way legs and the driver meets you again the next morning.

Before you go

Cold and wet in winter at 600 m altitude; spring wildflowers and autumn light are the best times. From Chefchaouen, the Akchour waterfalls and God's Bridge are 45 minutes into the Talassemtane park. The return leg, Chefchaouen to Agadir Airport, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
