  • Chefchaouen Medina - Upon arrival in the city, immerse yourself in Chefchaouen’s medina, one of the most picturesque historic centers in Morocco. Accompanied by an multilingual local guide, you will enjoy strolling through its winding streets flanked by pretty blue houses. You will also visit its souks.
  • Place Outa el Hammam - Nice place to stop and grab a coffee or mint tea and people watch while taking a break. Beautiful fountain and Kasbah as a backdrop add to the charm of the square.
  • Grand Mosque - Constructed in the 15th century, Chefchaouen’s Grande Mosque was built on the orders of Moulay Mohamed Ben Ali Ben Rachid, the son of the city’s founder. It features an octagonal minaret, which is somewhat unusual when compared to the many square minarets that generally tower over the nation’s myriad mosques. The shape was influenced by Andalusian styles, brought to the country by Muslims from Spain. Built from stone, the shades of brown and beige are juxtaposed against the nearby blue and white buildings. Admiring the mosque is among the top things to do in the city.
  • Ras El Maa Waterfall - This cascade is very handy. It keeps things cool and provides heaps of running water for the women of the town to come to the communal laundry to go the family wash. it provides an important source not just of H2O but social interaction for the women whose lives seem to be somewhat proscribed and cloistered. No need to make a special point of visiting it as you will just come across it while wandering around the hilly little town.
