Just a few reasons why you HAVE to see Chefchaouen in Morocco
Chefchaouen is located in the north of Morocco and is most known for its nearly entirely blue facade of its buildings. Initially founded as a military outpost, it is known as the 'Blue Pearl' of Morocco and its name roughly translates to 'look at the horns', referring to the two mountains on its perimeter. The highlight of the city is its medina, where the alleyways are too narrow for cars to pass.
Taking a Walk Through Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech is the fourth largest city in Morocco, situated west of the Atlas Mountains. The city was founded in 1070 and is called the "Red City" due to the red sandstone material used in the construction of its early buildings. The city is a UNESCO world heritage site and has plenty of great sites to check out such as Jemaa Al-Fna, Koutoubia Mosque, Souk Semmarine, Bab Agnaou, and Bahia Palace.
