Weavers Workshop Visit
Chefchaouen, Morocco
About This Activity
Chefchaouen is famous for its hand-woven wool blankets and rugs, produced using techniques passed down through generations of Rif Berber women. Visit a weaving cooperative in the medina to watch artisans at their looms, learn about natural dyeing with saffron, indigo, and pomegranate, and understand the symbolic patterns woven into each piece. You can purchase directly from the weavers, supporting the local women's cooperative.
