The most photogenic spots in Chefchaouen!
Chefchaouen is definitely the most photogenic city in Morocco. It became well known for its brightly painted blue buildings and beautiful handmade wooden doors of all shapes in the Medina, which is why it’s called the blue city or the blue pearl of Morocco.
The best way to discover the city is just to walk and get lost in the maze of the tiny blue alleyways, where literally every corner is worthy of a picture. The city gained a lot of exposure in the recent years and grown to be one of the most known destinations, all thanks to Instagram! In this article we’ve selected for you the most famous Instagram spots in Chefchaouen.
We also invite you to follow along with our complete guide to visit Chefchaouen.
The white mosque :
The contrast of the white minaret with the vibrant blue streets makes the perfect mix for a great photo. We recommend avoiding prayer times to take pictures here. During these hours it gets crowded with locals going to the mosque to pray and it will be uncomfortable for you trying to strike a pose.
Calle Sidi Bouchouka
This is one of cutest staircase alleys with colorful tiles that add a nice touch to the solid blue walls. There are also a couple beautiful doors that you can snap here too.
The 3 Littles Doors :
Chefchaouen architecture is quite interesting, and you’ll find these 3 narrow doors aligned next to one another make a perfect couple photo or family shot.
El Ouahabi House :
This is a traditional Moroccan house located in a dead end alley. You’ll often be lucky enough to get a photobomber peering from the windows, just a reminder that this beautiful spot is someone’s home. Try to be discreet and keep the noise down, especially if you’re up early trying to beat the crowds.
Place El Haoutta :
After Place Outta Hammam, this is the second main square of Chefchaouen, there is a cute fountain in the middle and it’s surrounded by cafes.
The Chefchaouen House Entrance:
This is THE Instagram famous picture of Chefchaouen, it’s actually someone’s house entrance who made a considerable effort to add extra decorations, you need to pay a small fee of 5dh in order to take pictures here.

It’s such a romantic spot to watch sunset and you will want to see how that orange sunset sky melts on the blue city .
The Blue Alley :
