Your guide or driver will help you begin the visit from a convenient access point to the old Medina.
Chefchaouen Medina Visit
The tour continues inside Chefchaouen Medina, where you can walk through narrow blue streets, small squares, traditional shops, and quiet residential corners.
The Medina is the main highlight of the trip. It is smaller and calmer than many other Moroccan old cities, making it enjoyable for walking, photography, and cultural discovery.
