Morocco is a poem written in spice and sand,
where colours speak and silence sings.

My Moroccan journey began in Marrakech—a vibrant, bustling city alive with colour, flavour, and energy. More than just a popular tourist destination rich in cultural and historical gems, it also serves as a key hub for trade and commerce in the region.

At first, Marrakech can be a challenging place to photograph. It’s crowded, people are constantly stepping into your shot, and many locals aren’t keen on being photographed. But if you take the time to slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and be present, the right compositions start to reveal themselves naturally.

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, Marrakech might not be your ideal destination. This city can be overwhelming—the endless maze of winding bazaars, the constant need to haggle for over priced goods, and the persistent street vendors can really take it out of you!

The central square, Jemaa El-Fnaa—a UNESCO World Heritage site—might sometimes feel like a tourist trap, but it’s very much a gathering place for Moroccans too. Locals from Marrakech and beyond come here to shop, enjoy live music, soak up the street performances, and revel in the vibrant chaos that takes over the square each evening.

Essaouira, a small town on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, offers a completely different vibe from the intensity of Marrakech. It has a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, with a charming historic medina, fortress-like ramparts, and a bustling, colourful fishing port.
