The hammam experience
Hammam Let me tell you about one of my favorite experiences so far: the hammam, the public bath, a common institution in maroccon life. I believe that even now, not all houses in or outside of a town have running water. And often, certainly not hot ...
Essaouira

Back on the Road

Morocco . Tracking Jewish footprints .
