Getting there

Car

From Chefchaouen, head southeast on Avenue Hassan II towards Rue 20 Août. Continue straight for approximately 1 km until you reach the intersection with Route N2. Turn right onto Route N2 and follow it for about 8 km. Look for signs directing you towards Jebel El-Kelaa, then take the turnoff onto a smaller road leading up the mountain. Follow this road for another 5 km until you reach the parking area near the base of Jebel El-Kelaa. Note that the last part of the road may be unpaved, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended.
