You step through a squat stone arch and the street tilts into a wash of blue: turquoise doorways, indigo staircases and sun-softened alleys that funnel light into perfect frames. The guide meets you at Outa Hammam, camera at the ready, and the city quickly becomes a lesson in composition and cultural curiosity rather than a checklist of sites.
