Chefchaouen

The Blue City

Midway through the week, we’ll take a break from chalk and rock and head into the heart of Chefchaouen — Morocco’s iconic blue city.

It’s a chance to slow down, wander through winding alleys, sip mint tea in the shade, browse local crafts, and soak in a completely different kind of energy.

For many, this day becomes a quiet highlight — a rest for the body and a little spark for the senses.

No rush, no schedule. Just time to explore, recharge, and enjoy the rhythm of the city before we return to the peaceful pace of the mountains.
