"The Universe belongs to God." is written on the walls of the Hassan II Mosque. 🤍 Morocco weaves beauty and devotion magnificently within itself, and it has left a profound mark on me. seeing those splendid lands filled me with joy and almost recognition, as if i had been there before, perhaps in another life. what was most significant for me was witnessing the calls to prayer. it moved me to tears - to see people drop their everything to join prayer, with fervour and innocence. from truck drivers parking their car on the side of the road and kneeling before their devotion on the land, to workers kneeling on the pavement on busy streets with folded hands... truly a most touching sight for sore eyes.what is more, the scents, the architecture, the nature, the monuments - "deeply fulfilling to the senses", as my beloved teacher wrote, who, as grace happens, had just experienced Morocco before i did! Casablanca, Rabat, Essaouira, Marrakesh, Fes.

Ancient Saharan village of Merzouga, Morocco also known as "The Sahara Gate" gateway of mighty Sahara desert and this village still habitat of ancient tribals and resting place of wandering nomads.
