Chefchaouen, or the ‘blue city’, is arguably one of the prettiest places in Morocco. Its medina has been lovingly cared for with striking blue and whitewashed houses, red-tiled roofs and artistic doorways.
The blue palette derives from the 15th century, when the town attracted exiles from Spain. Arriving Jewish refugees fleeing the Spanish Inquisition painted their houses blue to reflect their divinity — a tradition that continued through the centuries.
Take a stroll through the ancient medina and shop for handicrafts, go hiking in the Rif mountains or simply sit at a cafe and enjoy the pleasure of time passing by.
Then transfer to Fes. Before entering into the city of Fes, stop for a panorama view of the medieval biggest city. Then your guide leads you through the Jewish Quarter, or mellah, built in 1438.
