Chefchaouen Medina The Andalusian-style medina unquestionably forms the heart of the city's allure, captivating visitors with its unique architectural charm, winding alleys that unveil hidden treasures at every corner, and an enchanting ambiance that transports travelers to a bygone era of splendor and culture.

Duration:  1.25 hours

3
Kasbah Museum This majestic Kasbah was constructed in the 15th century, precisely in the year 1471, by Rachid Ben Ali. During this time, the attacks by Christians were quite frequent, as they sought to gain control of Morocco. This prompted the resistance movement, led by the Banu Rashid family, to declare a Holy War. Shortly thereafter, the same Banu family commissioned the construction of this imposing Kasbah to protect the city. The Kasbah included a mosque (Jama El Kebir) and various nearby dwellings, which were in turn surrounded and shielded by a wall, thus forming the core of the city of Chefchaouen, which rapidly grew and developed.

Duration:  45 minutes

Duration:  20 minutes

Place Outa el Hammam The central square of Chefchaouen is brimming with budget-friendly restaurants for lunch or dinner, making it a bustling hub of activity. Located in this square are the kasbah (fortress) and the city's first mosque

Duration:  30 minutes

6
Grand Mosque Construite au XVe siècle, la Grande Mosquée de Chefchaouen a été construite sur les ordres de Moulay Mohamed Ben Ali Ben Rachid, fils du fondateur de la ville. Il comporte un minaret octogonal, ce qui est quelque peu inhabituel par rapport aux nombreux minarets carrés qui dominent généralement la myriade de mosquées du pays. La forme a été influencée par les styles andalous, apportés au pays par des musulmans d’Espagne. Construit en pierre, les tons de brun et de beige se juxtaposent aux bâtiments bleus et blancs voisins. Admirer la mosquée est l'une des principales choses à faire en ville. Notez que les visiteurs non musulmans ne sont pas autorisés à entrer dans la mosquée.

Duration:  25 minutes

7
Bouzafer Mosque The mosque was built by the Spanish in the 1920s, but never used. It fell into disrepair and remains closed, but the grounds out front make for a perfect place to behold the blue city and watch the sunset dip behind the green hills with a freshly squeezed orange juice in hand.

Duration:  20 minutes
