Morocco · One piece
Fez.
Five minutes into the old city, I watched a chicken get its head chopped off. I left with great pottery.

Field notes
Morocco was one of my favorite trips I have ever done. It started in Fez.
Stop 01 · The old city
Within five minutes of getting into the old city, I saw a chicken get its head chopped off.
Stop 02 · The rain
I ducked into an alleyway riad and watched the beautiful rain come down, just so excited to be in this old-world city.
Stop 03 · The pottery
I left with some great pottery - including from a Jewish woman selling pottery there.

My saved places

Chez Thami
