I didn’t realize it until I left Morocco and backed up all my photos on my computer, but I guess I really loved shooting photos of Moroccan doors! I don’t know how many I ended up with in total, but here’s a selection of 13 of my favorites. Most of the blue ones you’ll see are from Chefchaouen, but the rest were from Tangier, Marrakech, and Fes. I absolutely love Islamic architecture and the ornate tile work on some of these doors. (Also, I’m always sort of curious what kind of magic lies behind them!)
I took pictures of some of the exact same doors! They are gorgeous. If only my door was that pretty!

You’d probably have to live in the medina for a great door like these. ;) The doors are so unbelievable though!
So pretty! There is something very mysterious about all the different doors, I always get a bit curious about what’s behind them haha! Lovely pictures :)

I know! I felt the same way about some of the mosque doors–just so curious to go in and poke around and see what’s in there.
I do the same thing. I have an affinity for doors and walls. I don’t understand it but I have taken hundreds in my travels so far. Although, I have to say, that the doors in Morocco are particularly spectacular and fun. Why are most of them blue though? Your favorite color or they are just blue?
No, actually red’s my favorite color! But most of the doors just seemed to be blue or green. Green is the color of Islam. Not entirely sure what the blue means (though, some were taken in Chefchaouen, which is an entirely blue city).
Haha, I caught myself on doing the same…

These are lovely! The fourth one down is my favourite. I’d love to visit Morocco one day, am very jealous!
Thanks, Dominique! And I hope you get to–it’s lovely!
