I walked into our riad and immediately understood why people fall in love with this city. The carved wood, the colors everywhere, mint tea waiting for us when we arrived. And that was all before I even stepped out into the medina.

The full Day 1 story is coming in the reel. For now, tell me: which slide is most you, riad calm or souk chaos? 👇
