Most of our volunteers are planning to visit the bleu pearl, Chefchaouen, situated in the Rif Mountains with its bleu relaxing atmosphere and cool water. Almost the entire city is bleached in bleu that was first initiated by the Jewish refugees who lived there during the 1930s. It is a spectacular sight at the backdrop of peaks of the Rif Mountains. The streets are filled with cozy restaurants and shops where you can easily mingle with the locals. If you are into souvenir shopping, I’m sure you can find some good choices there too. Have a nice weekend and stay safe! 

Located near the Atlas Mountains, Meknes has a seasonal climate, shifting from cool winters to hot summers. That gives the city the ability to stay forever green.

Sometimes some things are just too crazy to believe but true!!

It happened yesterday that I was sitting in a coffee shop in MED 5^th street in Rabat. While sipping my drink randomly, there was a fool caricature artist distributing his works and guessing randomly the result of Morocco Vs Tanzania game before the start. I still remember that he said " we will win 3—1, he even named the players who will score – Chamak, Taarabt and Boussofa- successively " fortunately, what he said was hundred per cent true and we make it to the African Nations Cup finals of 2012 in Guinea and Gabon. After the game a couple of thousands of Moroccans headed to main streets and squares to celebrate all together this happy moment.
