Because Morocco sits at a crossroads of several civilizations, ancient traditions are still part of everyday life. It’s seductive, as sweeping deserts contrast with more than 1,000 miles of coastline. Daily life in this predominantly Muslim country follows the rhythms of calls to prayer — but also the rhythms of the souks — the frenetic and near-mystical markets.
