What to do in the “Blue City”⬇️ (Save for later) Chefchaouen, often referred to as the “Blue City,” is a picturesque town in northern Morocco known for its distinctive blue-painted buildings and stunning mountain landscapes. -Wander around the blue streets. You can wander for hours through these blue alleyways. It was my favorite Medina in all of Morocco. The entire town is “Instagrammable” -Watch the sunset from Bouzafer Mosque on the hill. -Take a day trip to Akchour. Here you can hike to the God’s Bridge and/or multiple stunning waterfalls. It’s a 45 minute taxi ride. -I stayed at Dar Dadicilef Hostel and loved it. It’s very quiet, with a stunning garden, delicious free breakfast every morning, and the sweetest owner. His English isn’t great, but if you speak a little Arabic, French, or Spanish you’ll hit it off beautifully. -My favorite restaurants were Casa Aladin, Cafe Clock, Mandala, & Restaurant El Wiam. Getting here from Tangier and/or Fez is very simple using the bus system. I recommend you use CTM or Supratours. You can purchase tickets online, but I purchased them at the ticket window about 15 minutes before departure.

The Spanish Mosque in Chefchaouen is a captivating gem nestled within the serene blue city of Morocco. Offering stunning panoramic views of the town and its picturesque blue-painted buildings, this mosque is a must-visit attraction for anyone exploring Chefchaouen. The mosque's architecture seamlessly blends Spanish and Moroccan influences, reflecting the historical ties between the two regions. Its pristine white exterior stands in striking contrast to the surrounding blue walls, creating a visual spectacle that's both photogenic and culturally rich. Climbing up the hill to reach the mosque can be a bit of a hike, but the effort is absolutely worth it. As you ascend, you'll be treated to breathtaking vistas of Chefchaouen and the Rif Mountains. It's an ideal spot to capture stunning photographs and take in the tranquility of the area. Inside the mosque, visitors are welcomed with a sense of serenity and spirituality. While non-Muslims may not enter the prayer hall, the courtyards and surrounding areas are open to all. The mosque's peaceful ambiance makes it a perfect spot for reflection and relaxation. Visiting the Spanish Mosque during sunrise or sunset is particularly enchanting, as the changing light casts a magical glow over Chefchaouen. It's a popular spot for photographers and couples seeking a romantic atmosphere.

The Spanish Mosque, also known as the Mosque of Chefchaouen, is a picturesque mosque located on the outskirts of Chefchaouen, Morocco. Despite its name, the mosque was actually constructed by the Spanish during their occupation of the city in the early 20th century. The Spanish Mosque sits atop a hill overlooking the beautiful blue-washed city of Chefchaouen, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Its location makes it a popular destination for visitors seeking breathtaking vistas and photo opportunities. Architecturally, the mosque combines Spanish and Moorish influences, with its white-washed walls, arched doorways, and ornate details. The simplicity and elegance of its design contribute to its charm and allure, drawing visitors from near and far to admire its beauty. While the Spanish Mosque is no longer an active place of worship, it remains a cultural and historical landmark in Chefchaouen, serving as a symbol of the city's diverse heritage and the enduring legacy of its past. Visitors often make the journey to the mosque to experience its tranquil atmosphere and soak in the panoramic views of Chefchaouen and the surrounding countryside.

Visiting Bouzafar Mosque is a memorable experience. The mosque, built atop a hill, requires a 20-minute climb, but the effort is well worth it. I visited in the evening when the place was crowded with people gathering for the Maghrib prayer and watching sunset. The atmosphere was lively and spiritual. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the beautiful sunset from this location. As the sun dipped below the horizon, it bathed the city in a golden light, creating a breathtaking view that was both serene and captivating. The panoramic view of the city from the mosque is truly wonderful, offering a unique perspective of Chefchaouen’s charm. Bouzafar Mosque, though no longer used for daily prayers, holds significant historical value. It was built in the 15th century by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa, a religious leader who played a crucial role in the spread of Islam in the region.

Best for sunset panoramic views!! Definitely worth the hike up of about 20-30mins, just start the trail from the waterfall area and there’s only one path up. Along the way you might find some huge cacti and aloe Vera plants. The walk is pretty easy and smooth. On top, do arrive at least 30 mins before the sun sets because there can be cloud cover and the actual sunset time will be earlier. You will also be able to get one of the seats facing the sun if you are early. Plenty of tourists there lounging and you might hear one or two buskers playing music. Didn’t visit the mosque (technically it’s just a small building) at all, probably closed anyway. There are people who walked down to the grassy area too. You can pretty much see most of Chefchaouen from here. Enjoy the views!

The best sunset you can see in Chefchaouen. To get there you have to do a pleasant hiking with lots of spots for pictures and resting. When you get there for the sunset there is always some guys playing music from Andaluzia in Arabic, which give the proper feeling of the place. They are having fun and will not bother you for money. There is a peaceful place for relax and joy. It is really one of the best spots in Town. From there we’ve watched the afternoon pray and after that the music from the young boys. Was as real pleasant sunset.
