Chefchaouen Day Trip: A True Blue Experience in Morocco!

Magical – this mystical term is well justified by Chefchaouen, the Blue City in the northwest of Morocco. Hovering amidst the Rif Mountains, this city has an intense landscape along with an ethereal atmosphere to welcome you. Chefchaouen was established in 1471 with the construction of its walled casbah and fortress in the Rif Mountains by Jews and Moors fleeing Spain. The Blue color of the city has many stories behind it some say the Jews painted it blue after fleeing Hitler, some say it was painted so to keep mosquitoes away and few others say it represents the color of the sea! Which story is true that is known to no one! Regardless of the reasons, the blue color truly worked out well for the city as it looks good blue.

When traveling to Morocco, you should never miss a Chefchaouen day trip! Want to know why? Then do check out the following!

Different from rest of the world – The narrow cobbled streets and passageways with randomly scattered steep stairs all painted blue, the tiled roves and the wrought iron windows make this city different from the rest! Chefchaouen means “blue pearl” and it is truly a rare and stunning gem!

Paradise for every photographer – The Blue City has different shades and variations of the blue color which includes cyan, indigo, cobalt, azure and more! And these endless arrays of blue shades make it truly alive! And dawn is perhaps the best time for experimenting with your camera skills but also the afternoon and the golden hour with shadows and color shifts make the city photogenic enough to get captured!

 

World’s best orange juices are found here – The Chefchaouen province produces the sweetest and juiciest oranges. So if in the city then do not miss these delightful juices with the freshly baked Moroccan breakfast.

Friendly locals and Mint tea – As per the customs in Morocco the locals will offer you fresh sweet mint tea multiple times a day while relaxing for a chat with you. And the best part is you may even learn some of the Arabic or Berber words during the chat!

Waterfall hike – If you are adventurous enough then you should not miss the Cascades d’Akchour which is a pair of one small and one large waterfalls, snuggled in the Rif Mountains. The half day adventure includes the opportunity of crossing a natural bridge called God’s Bridge. Enclosed by lush foliage and terminating in a crystalline turquoise pool it is truly magical!

A day trip Chefchaouen becomes more exciting when you are with an expert who knows tits and bits of the city well.
