    TOUCH: A Berber leads a train of dromedaries (and travellers) into the Sahara. It was a night under the stars that saw the travellers awaking with mouthfuls of sand the next morning after being buffeted and lashed by a relentless sandstorm. But it was also a dawn that found the travellers trudging up a towering dune – barefoot, toes digging into the soft ground beneath, fine red sand succumbing to the fall of each step – to witness the rise of a Saharan sun. Views[212] SIGHT: It wasn’t a sight to capture. It was a sight that captured(my heart). A girl sits in the shelter of clothes heaped on fallen branches. She is intimidated yet curious. She stares intently, trying to discern the emotions that flood the eyes of the young man gazing back at her. He tries to comprehend her nomadic life. She does not realise that as she sits silently with the young man in the shelter, he realises that he had learnt to look all his life, but for the first time, he learns to see. Views[154] SOUND: In a hut under the scorching heat, tribesmen in Merzouga chant and hum to the thunderous claps of steel plates and the steady, driving beat of a drum. Guests were invited to dance to a music that would continue to reverberate and echo in their memories long after the final note. Views[168] SMELL: In the labyrinthine medina of Fez, a loaded mule prepares to wind its way through the maze of narrow streets and alleyways. A world in which automobiles have no access, travellers on their feet often find themselves greeted by the scents of the meandering animals, the myriad of spices, and unforgettably, the acrid smells in the tanneries that never fail to surprise the olfactory senses. Views[184] TASTE: Fresh, a word that aptly describes this ubiquitous beverage in Morocco – orange juice. A solitary juice cart in the Kasbah des Oudaias is the oasis upon which parched travellers stumble to quench their thirst with cold refreshments that possess a flavour and the acidity that is sure to tingle the taste buds.
