This is a small carpet shop closed during one of the daily prayer calls in Chefchaouen. They simply put a ladder in front of the entrance to indicate it is closed.

Choauen is a beautiful colorful collection of pleasant, winding streets in the Rif mountain town. I would love to return. I will have more images from Chaoen posted here.


"Chefchaouen (شفشاون) is a gorgeous mountain city in northeastern Morocco. It's no wonder that tourists flock here — this humble town is the embodiment of almost every Moroccan cliché. The picturesque medina, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rif Mountains, is filled with white-washed homes with distinctive, powder-blue accents, and the call to prayer rings out of several mosques around the town in chorus. If you've got a few days to relax from the rigors of travel, this is a good place to do it." http://wikitravel.org/en/Chefchaouen
