Blue City
After breakfast visit of the blue city . It’s color - a gorgeous blue rinse that covers not only Chaouen’s houses but its mosques, government buildings, public squares ...Comes from a custom that dates back to the 15th century ,when Jewish refugees fleeing the Spanish Inquisition settled in large numbers in Chaouen .They brought with them their tradition of painting things blue to mirror the sky and remind them of God. After that we travel to the imperial city of Meknes which was founded by the Almoravid dynasty in the 11th century as a military settlement and became a capital under Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century. He introduced a Hispano Moorish style in the architecture with the great Bab Mansour; a gate of intricate mosaic or zellig, the ramparts, the granary and the Sahrij Swani Basin; used for irrigation and plantation. Afternoon continuation to the spiritual capital of Fes. Dinner at leisure & overnight at a Riad
