## Frequently asked questions

**Why are the houses blue?**

Several theories: Sephardic Jewish tradition, symbol of sky and spirituality, repelling mosquitoes, or simple Berber aesthetic tradition.

No, it is reserved for Muslims. You can admire its exterior architecture and its octagonal minaret, unique in Morocco.

**Best time for photos?**

Early morning (8am-10am) for golden light and few tourists, or late afternoon (4pm-6pm) for warm colors.
