Group Tour of Chefchaouen for a Hassle-Free Day Trip from Fez Discover an iconic mountain village painted blue You will have time to explore Chefchaouen at your own pace Convenient door-to-door transportation from Fez included Initially instigated in 1415, Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 then completed in 1480 by Sharif Ali ibn Rachid al-Alami, returning from a warlike stay in the kingdom of Granada2. The city subsequently welcomed a population composed mainly of Andalusians and Megorachim then of Moriscos and remained prohibited to Christians on pain of death. Only the explorer Charles de Foucauld defied the ban in 1883. Between 1471 and 1561, the city was governed by the Banou Rachid dynasty, descendants of its founder, nominally vassals of the Wattassid sultans, and was reunited in Morocco by the Saadians.

Chefchaouen, Chefchaouen, Morocco Morocco Desert Travels’s driver, will pick you up from you hotel or Riad at 8 am for the fascinating drive to the North of Morocco for you to explore the unique and beautiful small city of Chefchaouen, the famous “Blue City” of Morocco. You will drive through the verdant forests, broad, lush valleys, deeply cut gorges and towering mountain peaks that surround the city of Chaouen.
Wander through the narrow streets, painted in blue and white, of this peaceful place founded in 1471 by Moulay Ali ben Moussa as a kasbah, or walled fortress which you can still visit today. It has a more recently added and very picturesque garden too. Moving through the blue alleys, with the bright sun reflecting from the walls is a feeling somewhat like walking under a shallow blue sea, an amazing sensation.
The markets are full of genuine, good quality local handicrafts, with styles not found elsewhere in Morocco; broad brightly coloured ‘sombrero’-like hats, decorated with ornamental thread, hand-woven blankets in bright patterns and a range of woollen clothes. The town square, surrounded by restaurants and cafes where you may be able to sample the delicious local goat’s cheese is another place to enjoy, sit down, relax and breath in the rich atmosphere.
There are many other monuments to look at, including the 15th century Grande Mosque and the Place Mohammed park with it’s stunning views of the Rif Mountains.

Madih is a very kind and professional driver and guide. We were hosted in Fes el bali and he drove us to Chefchaouen to spend the day. He explains everything about the history and culture of Marocco in a good and simple way.
