Tour description

In this experience, the day will be dedicated to exploring and discovering Chefchaouen's medina and learning about its history, culture and lifestyle, as well as visiting the Spanish Mosque for the best panoramic view of the city.
We will start by walking through the hidden corners of the medina , which has 7 main neighborhoods and 7 gates, while introducing you to Andalusian-Amazigh history and culture.
We will be able to visit the main places to take the most impressive pictures of the city, then we will visit the Kasbah (the main fortress which was founded in the 15th century), after spending about 30 minutes in the Kasbah to see the garden, the towers and the old prison. We will go to the Spanish Mosque. A lunch break at a local restaurant is provided according to your needs.
On the way to the Spanish Mosque, we will pass by the river to see the water springs, the old laundry system and the orange trees.
After heading to the Mosque, a 30-minute break is provided to enjoy the view and take pictures.
Afterwards, we will return to the medina to go to the market and pass through the Swika neighborhood (the commercial district that has more than 500 stores)

The activity ends in the main square of Chefchaouen.

We booked very last minute so Omar wasn’t around, but he arranged for his colleague Moyrad to give us a tour! We were a large group but Moyrad kept the tour interesting for everyone, the route was great (around the city, to the river, some back streets we would have never found ourselves etc.) and we ended looking at some locally made rugs and seeing the weaving being done in house. It was also a really good length of tour, we weren’t rushed at all so we had about 2/3 hours which worked really well for our group.

Omar wasn't our guide but our guide was very knowledgeable and quite thorough. The guide was willing to tailor it to how we wanted. He was very good at explaining everything and friendly.

Une expérience plus que parfaite avec un guide local Mohamed à l’écoute et qui connaît très bien sa ville et son histoire. Il a même pris le temps de nous montrer de beau point de vue hors des murs de la médina et nous a fait découvrir des artistes locaux à l’œuvre. Un pure plaisir
