Kasbah Museum & Garden
Chefchaouen, Morocco
About This Activity
The Kasbah of Chefchaouen, built by Moulay Ali Ben Rachid in 1471, anchors the main square of Place Outa el Hammam. Inside the crenellated red walls, a small ethnographic museum displays traditional Rif Berber clothing, weapons, and musical instruments. The kasbah's Andalusian-style garden, with its towering trees and central fountain, offers a peaceful retreat from the medina. Climb the tower for views over the blue rooftops.
Seasonal note: Year-round; pleasant Rif Mountain climate
