1The main square of Marrakech wakes up slowly, but by sunset it overflows with life.
2Drummers, acrobats, and snake charmers all compete for the attention of wandering visitors.
3Behind the square, the souks form a maze of covered lanes and workshops.
4Copper lamps hang in glowing clusters, throwing warm light onto carpets and spices.
5Bargaining here is not rude; it is an expected and friendly ritual.
6A good negotiation here usually begins with sweet tea and ends with laughter.
7I watched a craftsman carve cedar wood with tools that were older than himself.
8In the evening, storytellers gather circles of listeners beneath rows of flickering lanterns.
9Their tales mix history, humour, and lessons passed down through many generations.
10Although I understood only fragments, the rhythm of the words held me spellbound.
11Marrakech taught me that a market can also be a living theatre.
