Why is Chefchaouen blue?

The blue color was traditionally used by Jewish refugees as a symbol of the sky and heaven. Locals have maintained the tradition for its beauty and ability to repel mosquitoes.

How many days should I stay in Chefchaouen?

One full day is enough to see the medina, but staying 2 days allows for a more relaxed pace and perhaps a hike in the Rif Mountains.

Can I visit Chefchaouen as a day trip from Fes?

Yes, it is a common 4-hour drive. We offer day trips, but be prepared for a long day of travel.
