Chefchaouen, also known simply as Chaouen, is a must see in Morocco. Not only does this mountain village boast a picturesque medina, it's set in striking surrounds. White-wash alternates with blue. Narrow lanes twist and turn. Twin summits, Meggou and Tisouka, tower above. Yet what makes Chefchaouen an exceptional family travel destination are its small size, relative safety, plentiful shopping and great hiking trails. The wee medina is easy to navigate. Chefchaouen is one of the safest cities in Morocco. The weekly market and plentiful shops are an unpestered place to souvenir hunt. Woven blankets, wool jackets, and Rif Mountain cheese are three notable finds.
