Exploring Chefchaouen the Blue City

Chefchaouen is the main city in the Rif Mountain region in the north of Morocco and is undoubtedly one of the prettiest towns in the country. The city is dramatically situated, with blue and whitewashed buildings perching on the mountainside and small steep alleys, paths, and stairways winding around the tightly packed old medina. It remained a bastion against European influence until 1920 when the first Christians were allowed to enter, and the town retains a strong Arabic and Andalusian feel, with traditional wrought iron and beautifully woven lamps. Chefchaouen is a relaxed and tranquil town with a rather bohemian feel, and is a perfect antidote to many of the larger cities in Morocco, with superb views of the surrounding countryside. Chefchaouen is the best Morocco destination and a must-visit city during your Morocco Tours and Trip to Morocco.

Visit Chefchaouen Medina

While strolling through the narrow cobbled streets and the walls of Chefchaouen medina, you will realize that most men are dressed in wool Jilabas and women with colorful straw hats. Lunch at a local restaurant. We can admire the panoramic view of the valley and the village. In the main square of the medina, you will have time to explore the shops full of local crafts such as wool garments and woven blankets.
