The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Chefchaouen, Tangier-Tetouan Region
This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

Waj – Chief Tour Guide Welcome to Morocco! My name is Wajih Labbar From Chefchaouen, most people know me as Waj. I’m an avid worldwide traveller myself for the past 10 years and have had all sorts of experiences along the way. During my travels, the best times were when I would meet good chilled out people that showed me different and interesting places that were off the beaten track. I wanted to have fun but be sure that I felt safe and taken care of like I would be if I was to visit a friend. I didn’t want the typical rehearsed tourist route staying in less than average accommodation and eating bad food. When I started this business I really wanted people to have an amazing experience seeing the real Morocco that only one can being with a local. I want to surprise you with hidden places that only the locals know about and introduce you to the people you’d never meet if you were to travel on your own. We provide you with fascinating insights into local traditions and bring history

Cascades d'Akchour are located near Chefchaouen, a wonderful town in the. North of Morocco. In fact, the roite from Chefchaouen to Akchour is fantastic, you can see some beautiful landscapes of Rif Mountains. In Akchour, it is possible to do a hikking to the waterfalls. From the parking, if you walk 45minutes in the correct direction, you arrive to some little waterfalls. It is a perfect excursion to do with children and olders and at the end you can see beautiful waterfalls, while you drink a tea. Also, if you continue, in about 90minutes, you arrive to the best waterfall: a big one with a very beautiful lake, where you can relax and drink a coffe, while you see the most beautiful views of the place. This part is for adults, but not for children or olders. It is not difficult, but sometimes you need to walk on a tree trunk to pass the river or jump between rocks. The excursion is beautiful and the final waterfall is great!

So much shopping in Morocco is high pressure sales or, at least, a slightly awkward experience as the owner watches you intently, with high hopes of making a sale. This shop couldn't be more different: It is a two story shop simply filled with an enormous selection of nicely displayed soaps and oils. You can grab a small basket in which to collect your choices as you browse, inhaling the intoxicating, exotic scents as you go. Prices are clearly marked and very fair: about $3 for a good sized bar of soap. There are also cleverly bundled groups of 4 to 6 bars of soap, which make great gifts. The owner busies himself on the second floor, until you have a question or are ready to make your purchase. All & all, a lovely shop with great products and a nice shopping experience. Go!

It was an easy hike up the mountain to the Spanish mosque which rewarded us with a magnificent panoramic view of Chefchaouen. We hiked up the back way from the car park area via a goat path near the cemetery. We hiked down a path that had steps that seemed like the more public way to go to and from. Frankly the hike up was more enjoyable. Spectacular view!

Place Outa el Hammam is the main square of the Medina of the fantastic town of Chefchaouen, in the North of Morocco. This is a place, where you can see the main Kasbah (the most important and historical building in the town, now a museum), the Big Mosque (the most important religious building in the town) and some souvenir shops and restaurants. Also it is close the Medina, so it is a very good place to begin or finish the walk around the old town. Here is where people meet and always there are music and shows. Lunch or dinner herr, while you see people is fantastic. (see also Chefchaouen Medina, Kasbah Museum, Grand Mosque, Spanish Mosque, Ras el Maa Waterfall, Chefchaouen Cemetery and Bab Kasaba Restaurant)

After the Kasbah this is the most important building of Chefchaouen. It was built back in the fifteenth century. It has wonderful architecture with an unusual staircase and an octagonal minaret. As it is a functioning mosque, non Muslims cannot enter it.

The museum portion has some great photos and some descriptions - written in French and Arabic. If you are interested in the history and architecture of the place, read the Wikipedia entry and similar sources. It is worth the visit for the calm, and for the views.
