Night falls and the medina shifts—lamps flare, spice stalls steam, and the call of vendors threads through the narrow alleys. A guide leads a small group away from the tourist throng into pockets of the old city where Marrakchis eat: charcoal grills, bubbling cauldrons of harira, and trays of sticky pastries. The sounds, scents, and quick exchanges lay out the rhythm of the square.
