Highlights
This workshop offers a truly unique experience — a chance to step inside a living piece of Moroccan history. Guided by the last traditional mule saddle craftsman of Chefchaouen, you’ll not only watch but create with your own hands, using the same natural materials and ancient techniques passed down for centuries. Set in a 16th-century Fendak in the heart of the Rif Mountains, this activity combines culture, craftsmanship, and human connection. You’ll spend 2 hours hands-on, learning weaving, shaping, and assembling techniques that few ever experience. Enjoy Moroccan tea and local stories while connecting with a craft that has defined village life for generations. By participating, you’re helping preserve a vanishing art, supporting a local artisan, and leaving with a deep cultural understanding and a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience that goes far beyond a standard workshop.

About Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen is a mountain town in northern Morocco whose old medina is washed in blue, set among the Rif hills with hiking trails nearby.
Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a small fortress against Portuguese raids and grew when Muslim and Jewish refugees from Spain settled here. Its old town, the medina, is a maze of steep lanes and houses washed in shades of blue, with painted doors and pots of flowers. The main square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, is dominated by the red-walled kasbah and the Great Mosque with its octagonal minaret.
