Ornate doorway with carved wood, mosaic tilework, and a brass lantern
Looking up at weathered mud walls with iron-grille windows in a narrow alley
Tall medina buildings with wooden braces spanning a narrow gap of blue sky
Moroccan flag hanging between sand-coloured buildings in the medina
Leather tannery vats seen from above with hides drying on surrounding walls
Colourful rugs and leather goods hanging from a building above the tannery
Crowded souk with metalwork shops selling brass plates and lanterns
Intricate carved stucco and tilework courtyard of a Fes madrasa
Something about a respite from the bustling medina amplifies the beauty of the quiet areas of the city.
Green tiled rooftop with a mosque dome and minaret rising behind

Why does it feel like I've gone through a time machine?
