You arrive before the sun has warmed the blue alleys and the Rif Mountains hold a cool hush—the minivan eases into a town that looks painted by a single, stubborn idea: blue. Narrow lanes funnel you past woven rugs and leather stalls; light slants off chipped door frames and the octagonal minaret of the Great Mosque stands like a local clock.

Small shops and market stalls prefer cash—bring small denominations for purchases and tips.
Respect photography etiquette
Always ask permission before photographing people and avoid shooting inside private homes or modest places of worship.
