Chefchaouen Travel Guide
Chefchaouen is one of Morocco's most magical destinations — a small mountain city where nearly every wall, staircase and doorway is painted in shades of blue and white. Founded in 1471, the city sits at the foot of the Rif Mountains and has a relaxed, artistic atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Morocco.
You Morocco Tours includes Chefchaouen on private circuits from Tangier, Casablanca and Fes. We can arrange overnight stays in charming riads so you experience the city at dawn and dusk, when the light and atmosphere are most beautiful.
