Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your Morocco journey

Why are the houses in Chefchaouen painted blue?

The tradition was introduced by Jewish and Moorish refugees fleeing the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. In Jewish tradition, blue mirrors the sky and heaven, reminding people of God's presence. Locally, it is also said to keep homes cool and repel mosquitoes.
