$257.84 rental car. In my travel book, it states that it can be very expensive. However, I found in our “around” assignment, it was much more reasonable for 3 weeks. The price does include theft and collision and I am within the age of rental. The price listed is USD. As you will see throughout, driving at night is not advised. At the end, I did estimate gas. However, you will see on the charge below, I will have to pre-purchase fuel. This charge is not included.

 Hotel stay from 10/12 - 10/14

$101.68

I selected a higher daily cost hotel. After reading the reviews for some of the hostals or lowest cost locations, I will not stay there if traveling alone. One area was littered with human feces on the street leading to hotel as a result of homeless camps set up. I will shorten my stay in Casablanca after reading the reviews. I did consider staying in my car closer to a nicer part of the city.

There is an 8-hour drive to Chefchaouen. Chefchaouen is a small city in the Rif mountains in the north-west of Morocco. My hope is that since it in the northwest mountains, I will be able to get pictures. It is blue-washed streets and buildings. That’s why it got nicknamed “the Blue Pearl of Morocco”. They say that it is a photographer’s paradise.

The best place to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over Chefchaouen is at the Spanish mosque. This mosque sits on a hill to the east of the city and it’s a 45-minute walk to get there. The trail begins from Bab al Ansae, the medina’s eastern gate and passes a river where you might spot some women doing their laundry. The best time to hike up there is on a clear day before sunrise or sunset, during which you’ll have a spectacular view over the blue city and the peaks of the Rif mountains.
