The Experience

The first thing I remember is the echo of footsteps on cool marble as we entered the Hassan II Mosque. Our guide, Samir, just nodded at the guards—no waiting in line, which honestly felt like a small miracle. The air inside was somehow both salty from the Atlantic and spiced from the city. I caught a whiff of incense as Samir explained how every tile was hand-laid. He pointed out tiny details in Arabic calligraphy that I’d never have noticed. My shoes squeaked once on the polished floor and I tried not to laugh.

Afterwards, we slipped into Casablanca’s Old Medina. The alleys twisted tighter than I expected, and I kept losing sight of our group behind carts piled with oranges. There was this woman selling mint—she smiled when I tried to say “shukran,” but I probably mangled it. The market buzzed with shouts in Darija and French; it made me wish I understood more than just numbers and greetings. At one point, Samir bought us some chewy bread from a street vendor (I forgot what it’s called), still warm from the oven.

We stopped at Mohamed V Square for a minute—so many pigeons, kids chasing them everywhere. It’s funny how every city has that one spot where people just gather to do nothing in particular. By then my feet were tired but it felt good to just stand there and watch life go by. On the drive back (air conditioning never felt so good), I kept thinking about those blue tiles in the mosque catching bits of sunlight. Sometimes you don’t realize what’ll stick with you until later.
