In Morocco

A travel writer records a brisk, month-long tour across Morocco, moving from coastal towns and Roman ruins into imperial cities and the High Atlas. The account combines vivid descriptions of markets, medersas, mosques, and ramparts with concise sketches of local arts, crafts, and architectural features. Observations are informed by conversations with officials and scholars and include commentary on preservation efforts and the anticipated impact of new roads, railways, and tourism. Sections also detail ceremonies and domestic life, offer a compact history and architectural overview, and include practical travel notes and illustrations of principal sites.
