The final instalment of Seven Days in Morocco: the medina of Fez, Mohammed, Hamid on Seffarine Square, tanneries and an unexpected gift of bread.

From Merzouga to Fez via Erfoud’s fossil workshops, Damia, Zaida’s grills, cedar forests, Barbary macaques and Ifrane.

Sunset along the caravan, a night in the desert camp and a barefoot morning walk through the dunes of Erg Chebbi. The fifth installment of the Seven Days of Morocco: an encounter with silence, gratitude, and disappearing traces.

With Aziz among nomadic families, fossils and an old mine, to the tea and Gnawa music in Khamliya. The fourth installment of the Seven Days of Morocco series ends on the edge of Erg Chebbi.

From Serpentine Dades and Todra Canyon through Melaab to lunchtime at Mustafa in Erfoud. The third day of Morocco ends with the first dunes of Merzouge and thirty minutes under warm sand.

From Marrakech through the High Atlas to Aït Ben Haddou, the film trio and the caravan city. The road through Ouarzazate, the palm trees of Skoure and the city of roses ends with warm soup in Dades.

From Mustafa’s evening welcome to the medina, souks, Bahia Palace and Majorelle Garden — my Marrakech, its craftspeople, stories and tanjia.
