When to go

JFMAMJJASOND

Weather comfort, from hard (short bars) to ideal (tall bars).

Things to do

  • Walk the blue lanes early in the morning
  • Sunset at the Spanish Mosque
  • Ras el Ma spring
  • Day hike to Akchour waterfalls

Good to know

  • Stay one night: day-trippers leave in the late afternoon and the town gets quiet.
  • Winter is cold and rainy in the Rif: pack layers.
