Chefchaouen Morocco Beautiful Blue City

Chefchaouen Morocco Beautiful Blue City
Until 1912 Morocco never suffered foreign domination, and its mountainous interior was as closed to foreigners as the Tibet. However, Walter Harris (1866-1933), British newspaper correspondent for the London Times who lived in Morocco for thirty years, was the exception. He had a home in Ouezzane. Besides, he wrote books on his experiences there. In particular, “Morocco That Was”, as well as books on his travels to Yemen and Asia. Noteworthy, only three Christians had ever visited the walled city of Chefchaouen. One was poisoned, one came for an hour disguised as a rabbi, and the other was Harris. In fact, with its 43 thousand inhabitants Chefchaouen is a provincial town. Hidden between two arrays of Al Reef with a unique character and flavor, it is remarkable for its houses painted in different shades of blue. In addition, its ancient architecture makes it one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Called the most blue city in the world, Chefchaouen is a riot of sky blue, sapphire blue and all hues of blue color. Considered the most beautiful city in Morocco, walls of its buildings painted in various shades of blue. In fact, whole streets of the old city – painted light blue, sapphire, navy blue, and violet colors create an atmosphere of a fairy tale. Meanwhile, the tradition of painting the walls was due to the refugee Jews who came to Morocco in the 1930s. They painted doors, windows, walls in the old city in a sacred for the Jews color, which always reminds them of heaven and God.
According to tourists, some of them had a feeling to be straight inside a huge picture. Undoubtedly, this city, the blue pearl, is worth visiting and one where you want to return.
I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it’s in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me
