| Chaouen Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see AA Telephone AA Telephone Jo Wolf Chefchaouen (literally "look at the peaks" in Arabic) is an enchanting town sitting at the foot of the Rif Mountains. It is a unique place to visit for various reasons: it is small and manageable yet friendly to tourists; the mountain air and atmosphere are relaxing; and one can catch a glimpse of rural life while hiking in the surrounding mountains. |

| The well-preserved medina is a 15th century relic from the Muslim
civilization of Andulusia. Narrow streets wind through blue-white walls
where children greet you in Spanish. On the northern side, you’ll find
ground-room floors crowded with weaving looms. Many of the artisans are
friendly and will invite you in for a chat. (They may also invite you for a
smoke; the town is filled with kif and hashish because of its location). The
main square in the center of the medina (Plaza Uta el-Hammam) is a
delightful place to sip fresh orange juice and look at the mountain peaks,
the Grand Mosque and the Kasbah walls. The 17th century ruins of the Kasbah
runs along one side of the square. The red-hued walls of the Kasbah enclose
a beautiful garden and a small folk museum. Try to have a meal at Casa
Hassan in the medina.

It was established as a base for attacks on the Portuguese who where in Ceuta and Ksar es-Sghir. The neighboring tombs of Saint like Moulay Abdessalam Ben Mchich gave the town a regional importance on religious matters. When moslims fled Spain and Christian held cities in North Africa Chaouen grew rapidly. After this rapid growth the town slowly declined and was of little importance when the Spaniards established themselves in 1920. [Add New] Walter Harris Edit This One of the three Europeans to set foot in Chaouen before 1920 was Walter Harris. This colourful man has written a number of books on Morocco just before the protectorate. Try to get a copy of Morocco That Was, a very funny book on his days in the country. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] -----------Getting Around Edit This There are less than 40.000 people living in Chaouen. That's to say you can pretty much walk from one side of town to the other without getting really tired. Streets in the Medina are always curved so it is hard to find your way, but the Medina is so small that it is just as hard to get lost. ______Day Trips Edit This About Us Chaouen Rural is a Chaoueni professional group who has joint his efforts in a joint-stock company to boost tourism activity in the province of Chefchaouen , mainly in rural areas, through managing tourism product and offering reception services.

In spring until the beginning of July trekking in the area is great. In July and August the town and surroundings is a very hot place to be. Autumn until december is usually great and the winter can be freezing cold. Trekking can be done from the town and up in various directions. One is to go down by the spring called Ras El Ma (the head of the water), which is where the very fresh water that Chaouen is so famous for, comes out of the mountain. From there there is a steep climb up between two peaks, and on the other side there is a wide valley and beautiful scenery. In town and in guidebooks like Lonely Planet you can find detailed treks for the whole area. For a day trek, I can recommend to take a grand taxi down to Akchour, which is half an hour by car from Chaouen. You go north and turn right at the junction for Oued Laou. After a while you take a right turn saying Talembote and Akchour, and then another to Akchour. You arrive at a national park of great beauty, at a place where two rivers meet. It is possible to swim there (cold) and there is a couple of cottages, which are rarely in use. But usually the old woman can provide tea, eggs, olives, olive oil and her own bread. Order that and say, that you will be back in an hour or two. There is a walk up along the river, that leads to a waterfall. It is a gorgeous place, and usually totally deserted. Another option is to trek up to a location called God's Bridge, a rock arch over a valley. A breathtaking place. Also the town itself is a great place to hang around. A good place to get the feel of Morocco before traveling south. The attraction has always been the ambience of the place, which sadly is undergoing big changes, as more wealthy tourism arrives. The nearest beach in summer is at Oued Laou. |
