Historic Bab Chaouen gate marks the blue-washed medina of Chefchaouen — ideal for photographing saturated blue walls, textured doorways, arched geometry and narrow alleys with stacked stairs. Visit at sunrise or blue hour for soft directional light and empty streets. Accessible on foot; park outside the medina (no entry fee). Modest dress and polite permission for portraits are advised. Cobbled, uneven paths can be steep — bring comfortable shoes.
