Chefchaouen, a picturesque city nestled in the Rif Mountains of northern Morocco, is renowned for its stunning blue-painted streets and buildings. Founded in 1471, Chefchaouen's medina—a maze of narrow, winding streets—is one of its most enchanting features, where every corner reveals a splash of blue, creating a serene and photogenic atmosphere. This distinctive color is said to have been introduced by Jewish refugees in the 1930s as a symbol of peace and spirituality. Visitors will find that wandering through the blue-washed alleys offers a tranquil escape and ample opportunities for capturing beautiful photographs. The city is also known for its rich history and cultural heritage. Chefchaouen was originally established as a fortress to defend against Portuguese invasions and later became a center for trade and pilgrimage. The medina features traditional Moroccan architecture, with its charming souks and vibrant markets selling local handicrafts, including woven blankets, pottery, and leather goods. The city’s main square, Place Uta el-Hammam, is surrounded by historic buildings, including the Kasbah, a fortress that now houses a museum displaying artifacts and historical exhibits related to the city’s past. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Chefchaouen’s natural beauty and outdoor activities. The surrounding Rif Mountains provide excellent hiking opportunities, with trails leading to stunning viewpoints and natural springs. The nearby Akchour Waterfalls, accessible via a scenic hike, offer a refreshing retreat for those seeking adventure and nature. Additionally, the city’s location provides a cooler climate compared to other Moroccan cities, making it an inviting destination during the warmer months. Fun fact: Chefchaouen is known as the “Blue Pearl” of Morocco due to its striking blue-hued streets, which have become a defining feature of the city’s identity. This unique color scheme is not just for aesthetics but is believed to help keep the buildings cool and repel mosquitoes. For a truly immersive experience, visit Chefchaouen in the spring or fall, when the weather is pleasant, and the city’s charm is at its peak. |

A series of gates surrounds the two centers of ancient, medieval Fez (sometimes spelled Fes). The principal axes link the center to the gates and a street surrounds the heart of the old city. The Kairouan quarter, which is longer, is crossed by an artery. Narrow, tortuous pedestrian streets, covered passages, stairs and numerous dead-ends make up the dense layout with few urban squares. One can still see the religious and military monument reflecting the heyday of the Moorish city, and the intellectual enlightenment of the Islamic city. The twin cities have not lost their individual characters. |
