A peek inside
You kneel in the courtyard of Riad Dar Nour at seven in the morning, a bucket of lime mortar beside you, easing a cracked green zellige star out of the fountain basin with a thin blade. Beyond the thick walls the medina is waking: a handcart rattling, a call for fresh bread, swallows over the orange tree.
