The North of Morocco - the Blue City

The evening sun bathes the town in a blaze of blue color. The whole town seems to glow - like a mystical underwater world. But these are only brief moments in the turbulent alleys, which are winding, narrow, sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, leading the visitor from square to square and store to store. Here you can find handicrafts, leatherwork, handmade carpets or the warm djellaba with hood, famous in this area. Not all that glitters is gold, but those who are not immediately persuaded to buy the next best thing can still purchase small treasures here.

It is also worthwhile to follow a path upwards a little outside Bab Mukaddam. Here you can not only marvel at waterfalls in their wildness - where you can almost linger in the middle of them in a restaurant - but here you also go to a high mosque, from where you can experience the best sunset.

Chefchaouen is definitely worth a visit during your Morocco round trip. You shouldn't miss it. Let yourself be infected by this friendly serenity of the Rif Berbers. And imagine that until 100 years ago, access to this former largest northern Moroccan teaching center was still forbidden to Christians. We'll take you there. Africa North Journeys
