Despite its popularity as a tourist hot-spot, Chefchaouen has a small village mentality, and therefore everyone knows one another. The tourist areas are well policed by the local Tourist Police, and local residents are always polite, friendly and welcoming. Unlike other areas of Morocco, the haggling and harassment from shopkeepers is not at all aggressive and most tourists report a pleasant experience. I have walked all over Chefchaouen at all times of night and have never felt threatened or scared.

Nestled in the heart of the Rif Mountains in Northern Morocco, Chefchaouen is a charming city well-known for its picturesque medina awash in varying shades of blue. Renowned as Morocco's "Blue Pearl," this city presents a tranquil and visually striking blend of Moroccan and Andalusian cultures. The narrow, cobbled lanes of the medina are lined with beautiful blue houses, colorful handicrafts, vibrant markets, and centuries-old mosques, making it a premier destination for history and culture enthusiasts. Beyond the medina, Chefchaouen's lush surroundings provide opportunities for trekking and photography, with stunning panoramic views from the Kasbah fortress. And, of course, the local cuisine has a unique touch, with goat cheese and Rif Mountain honey being among the must-try delicacies. Chefchaouen's bewitching allure is sure to captivate all who venture into its enticing blue sanctuary.
