3Chefchaouen, Morocco: The Blue Pearl
Tucked in the Rif Mountains of northern Morocco, Chefchaouen is a town like no other. Known for its blue-painted streets and buildings, the town feels like something out of a dream. The reason behind the blue hue remains a mystery, but it’s believed to have religious significance or to repel mosquitoes.
Chefchaouen is not only beautiful but also rich in history, with a medina (old town) filled with winding alleys, local crafts, and rooftop cafes. Surrounded by stunning mountains, it’s also an excellent base for hiking and nature exploration. This magical blue city offers a peaceful and authentic Moroccan experience.
