A mountain town in the Rif range whose historic medina is famously painted in layered shades of blue and white. The narrow staircase alleys, flower-draped doorways, and terracotta-roofed houses create an unusually photogenic townscape. Morning light filtering through the medina's archways produces the soft, diffused tones that photographers seek. The town also serves as a base for hikes into the surrounding cedar forests.
