In Chefchaouen (often abbreviated as “Chaouen”), you’ll be welcomed to one of the most chill, laid-back towns in all of Morocco. Long famous on the backpacker trek, this small mountain town is now really blossoming into its own as a travel destination. Chaouen is far enough off the beaten track to dissuade most tourists, who make it safe enough for those brave enough to venture to the edge of the Rif Mountains. The narrow, Chaouen-blue pedestrian streets give way to a wide range of squares and breathtaking views over the lush valley below.
