Chefchaouen Morocco is one of the country’s most distinctive mountain destinations, nestled in the Rif Mountains and famous for its blue-washed streets and peaceful atmosphere. Often called Morocco’s “Blue City,” Chefchaouen is a dreamy maze of blue-painted buildings, narrow lanes, colorful doorways, and small squares that create one of the country’s most photogenic settings. The exact origin of the blue tradition is debated, but the result is undeniably magical and gives the town a character unlike anywhere else in Morocco.
