Pension Souika

** HostelBookers Awards for Excellence 2010 - Ranked top 3 for 'Best Location' in Africa **

We are situated in Chefchaouen, northern Morocco. Souikka is newly opened hotel but a traditional andalusian house in the old part of town, the medina. Besides Arabic and French, our staff also speak Spanish and English.

Chefchaouen or Chaouen, as it is often called by Moroccans, is a popular tourist destination given its proximity to Tangier and the Spanish border. The name simply refers to the shapes of the mountain tops that tower over the town, that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat. "Chef Chaouen" literally means "look at the horns". There are approximately two hundred hotels in this tiny mountain village in order to host the summer influx of European tourists. One distinction possessed by Chefchaouen is its blue-rinsed houses and buildings, a tradition that comes from the town's former Jewish population.

Chefchaouen is a popular shopping destination as well, as it offers many native handicrafts that are not available elsewhere in Morocco, such as wool garments and woven blankets. The goat cheese native to the area is also popular with tourists.
