Ramadan in Morocco
The month begins when the moon says so. The city stops. Then the smell of harira.
The Dunes of Merzouga
Erg Chebbi moves south at ten metres a year. The villages are in the way.

The White Mausoleum
Moulay Idriss II is buried in the heart of Fes and the whole city orbits the tomb
The Oldest Room in Marrakech
The Almoravid Koubba is the only building left from the citys founding dynasty
Dar Batha
Built as a palace for receiving ambassadors. Now the guests come to see what Morocco used to make.
Morocco
The Jews of Essaouira

Chellah
A Roman city. A Merenid necropolis. Storks on every tower. Rabat's most overlooked monument.
The Wedding Blanket
Sequins and symbols. What it says, only women can read.
The Atlantic Flyway
Five hundred species. One migration corridor. Morocco in the middle.

Rome reached Morocco and stayed for four centuries. The mosaics are still in the ground.
