There are approximately two hundred hotels catering to the summer influx of European tourists. One distinction possessed by Chefchaouen is its blue-rinsed houses and buildings. Chefchaouen is a popular shopping destination as well, as it offers many native handicrafts that are not available elsewhere in Morocco, such as wool garments and woven blankets. The goat cheese native to the area is also popular with tourists. The growing tourist industry is geared especially towards Spanish tourists, who are especially numerous during great Catholic feasts like Semana Santa and Christmas. Chefchaouen was visited by Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell in 1967. They adored it finding it « very ‘Golden Bough-ish’ Orton mentions their trip in the Orton Diaries. There are a number of distinct mosques in the town. Aside from the mosque at Place Uta Hammam in the medina, there is also a mosque dedicated to the patron saint of Northern Morocco’s Jebalah region, Moulay Abdeslam Ben Mchich Alami.

Our Moroccan In-Depth Cultural tour with Tilila Travel was excellent. My wife and I chose the 10 day excursion beginning in Casablanca as it provided a wonderful overview of what Morocco has to offer, including its history, geography, architecture, ethnicity and food. From the outset we were contacted directly by Mohamed from Tilila Travel and had numerous conversations and messaging in advance to accommodate our needs and interests. He checked on our progress during, arranged a last minute request for a cooking class, and then met us at the end for coffee and mint tea. His warm, hands-on approach turned out to be indicative of the friendly and helpful nature of the fine people we met along this amazing journey. From the start with our very safe and competent driver and guide, Ibrahim, we were introduced to the beauty and charm of Morocco. There are not enough superlatives to describe the natural wonders, the luxurious Riad, Dar or Berber Tent, nor the exacting workmanship evident in the Kasbahs and Mosques. I will let our photos do the job. We were fortunate to be on a tour just for two, but if you select any one of Tilila’s tours, you will not be disappointed.
