7. Constructed in the 15th century, Chefchaouen’s Grande Mosque was built on the orders of Moulay Mohamed Ben Ali Ben Rachid, the son of the city’s founder. It features an octagonal minaret, which is somewhat unusual when compared to the many square minarets that generally tower over the nation’s myriad mosques. The shape was influenced by Andalusian styles, brought to the country by Muslims from Spain. Built from stone, the shades of brown and beige are juxtaposed against the nearby blue and white buildings. Admiring the mosque is among the top things to do in the city. Do note that non-Muslim visitors are not permitted to enter the mosque.

• 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Experience with Mohammad!

  I cannot thank Mohamed enough for the incredible guided tour he gave us in Chefchaouen, Morocco! From beginning to end, he went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. He took his time explaining everything, sharing his knowledge of the city, and making sure we truly got to experience the culture. He was incredibly patient while we shopped, helped us negotiate prices, and made us feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire tour. I genuinely believe that without Mohamed, we would never have experienced the city the way we did. He made our visit so much more meaningful, enjoyable, and memorable. I am beyond grateful for his kindness, patience, and hospitality. I would 100% recommend Mohamed to anyone visiting! When I return to Morocco, I will absolutely book with him again. Thank you, Mohamed, for making our experience so special! ❤️🇲🇦

• 5Nice tour with Ibrahim

  I would recommend this nice quick tour for anyone who wants to learn a little history about Chefchaouen and see important landmarks. Ibrahim was our guide and he messaged me the night before to confirm time and meeting point. He was on time and very enthusiastic to show us around. Good two hour tour that provided very interesting background. He also will point out photo spots and takes great photos!

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.
