Stop 2

The Outa el Hammam square is the historical and touristic centre of Chefchaouen with its Grand Mosque and minaret and its pavement cafes and restaurants. It’s an area of entertainment and interest. Located downtown, the Outa el Hammam square stands out as one of the most-visited sites and is considered a must-see by tourists who are drawn to the beauty and importance of the historical monuments surrounding this area. Once this square was a training ground for riders and fighters for different martial arts. Outa el Hammam is the oldest of the city's squares and is now well known for the mix of its rich history and its present-day life with shops and cultural activities.

Stop 3

The waterfall of Ras El Maa is just beyond the far northeastern gate of the Chefchaouen medina. It’s here, where the water comes gushing out of the mountain, that local women come to do their washing. The sound of the water and the verdant hills just beyond the medina wall provide a sudden, strong dose of nature.

This is the main gate of the Medina. The name Bab El Ain means the eye gate. This is because it is a double storied structure from where the guards used to watch over the Medina. It is the most convenient gate to use as it has banks, money changers, cafes, tourist office and area map near it. The Muslim Cemetery is located next to it. You can reach the bus station and the Central Market from this gate too. It is a 15th century edifice of beige sandstone. It was built during the reign of Mullay Bin Rashid.

Stop 5

If you're getting tired of blue, Chefchaouen's 15th-century clay-brown kasbah contains a lovely Andalusian-style garden, a former prison, the small Center for Research and Andalusian Studies and even smaller art gallery (only open during exhibitions). One of the fortress' 13 spires, the Portuguese Tower, named after the Portuguese prisoners who built it, features plaques tracing Riffian history and provides exquisite views of the medina.

Stop 6

Exploring the Chefchaouen Medina in Morocco is one of the best experiences in the country. Inside the old medina, everything is blue.
