What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the way the morning light slid across the walls—blue everywhere, but not just one blue. Our guide Soufian met us near Place Outa el Hammam, camera already in hand, grinning like he’d been waiting for this all week. He waved us down a side street before we could even get our bearings. “No blue clothes today,” he joked, eyeing my scarf. I guess it would’ve made me disappear in every shot. The air smelled faintly of oranges from a nearby stall, and the whole place felt quieter than I expected—just the soft echo of footsteps and someone laughing far off.

I’m not usually comfortable in front of a camera (my partner always teases me about my awkward hands), but Soufian didn’t ask us to pose stiffly or do anything weird. He’d just point out a doorway or catch us talking and snap away while telling stories about Chefchaouen’s old city gates or the kasbah built back in 1471. At one point, we stopped for juice from this famous orange seller—honestly, it tasted like sunshine after all that walking. There was this tiny square with a blue-and-white fountain where an old man nodded at us as we passed; Soufian caught that moment too, though I didn’t realize until later.

By the time we circled back to Outa el Hammam, I’d stopped worrying about how I looked and started noticing how people here greet each other—quick smiles, little waves. My shoes picked up dust from the alleys but I didn’t mind; it felt like proof I’d really wandered these streets. When Soufian sent over our photos (more than thirty, all edited), there were shots of us laughing at nothing and some where the blues seemed to go on forever behind us. Still can’t believe how natural it all felt—like we’d just spent an afternoon with a friend who happened to be really good with a camera.
