Morocco

View from the top of a sand dune near Erg Chebbi, about 30 km from the border with Algiers, on the edge of the Sahara Desert.

Sweets for sale at the souq in Meknes. Meknes is one of four Imperial Cities in Morocco, the others are Rabat which is very near Casablanca, Marrakech, and Fes.

Vats for dyeing leather at the Fes souq. Note that the dyers stand in the dye up to their knees and stamp down the leather to stain it. This surely can't be good for them. There is an overpowering stench around this part of the souq. When you enter the tannery, they hand you a little bouquet of mint to press to your nose, which they call a Moroccan gas mask.
