Chefchaouen, or the “Blue Pearl of Morocco,” is one of the most amazing and photogenic cities in North Africa. A small town in the Rif Mountains, the city is notorious for its blue streets, whitewashed walls, and calming ambiance that almost manages to stop time.
The Medina of Chefchaouen is like a dreamland for the visitors. The thin blue alleys, stairways, and courtyards are painted in all the possible blues—from the lightest sky and the deepest sapphire to the brightest turquoise and the darkest indigo—and this brings about a very calming and nearly magical feeling. The color is said to represent the sky and God's throne, thus giving Earth beauty and a peaceful feeling at the same time.
