Traditional Souk

 As the sun sets, the small traditional souk comes alive in a different way. Unlike the bustling daytime crowds, the evening brings a calm, almost mystical atmosphere. Lanterns cast a warm glow over narrow alleys lined with wooden stalls, where artisans quietly arrange their handcrafted goods—woven baskets, fragrant spices, and delicate silver jewelry.

The air is filled with the soothing scent of amber, cedarwood, and freshly ground cumin, blending with the distant murmur of vendors chatting with locals. A gentle breeze carries the sound of a lute being played somewhere in the distance, adding to the souk’s charm.

Strolling through, I take my time admiring the intricate craftsmanship of hand-painted ceramics and soft woolen rugs, each piece telling a story of tradition and heritage. Unlike the daytime rush, this evening visit feels intimate, allowing me to truly soak in the soul of the souk—where every object, every scent, and every sound whispers the essence of Moroccan culture.
