Tour description

Our tour will consist of following in the footsteps of the city's founder: Moulay Ali Ben Rachid.

The tour begins at Plaza Mohammed V , founded and designed by the Spanish engineer and artist Juan Miró.

During the time of the Spanish protectorate in the city, Spanish buildings such as the Church and the Municipal Palace were built.

Then we will walk along Hassan II Avenue, towards Bab Al-Ain , which is one of the seven gates of the Medina (ancient city).
From here, we will begin to climb towards the old Andalusian neighborhoods, the Al-Sueca neighborhood and the Al-Mallah neighborhood, founded by the Arabs, Muriscos and Jews expelled from Andalus.

Later, we will walk through the Al-Sabanin neighborhood , arriving at the Ras Al-Ma fountain , which is the highest point of our tour.

Finally we will descend through the Al-Onsar neighborhood and the Al-Souk neighborhood, ending in Wata Al-Hamam square , where the Kasbah and the Great Mosque are located.

During this visit, we will tour the main cultural and historical sites of our city and learn about our Moorish culture and traditions.

Come and discover the authenticity and uniqueness of Chefchaouen and its inhabitants, and enjoy this experience as if you lived here!

Touring in the morning meant that it wasn’t too busy. He took photos for us when we wanted, but that was not the focus of the tour, which I appreciated. He was very informative with a personal twist. He was able to give us plenty of recommendations on good places to eat afterward.

Karim fue muy amable y muy profesional, se nota que lo hace muy a menudo. Nos guio por toda la Medina y nos enseño muchos callejones interesantes desconocidos (que de normal, si vas tu no verás). Nos explico la verdadera historia de Chefchaouen de manera muy cercana. Por cierto, de casualidad Karim nos presentó al alcalde 🙃 Estamos muy contentos, recomandos 200%!!
