The African country was a popular travel destination before the pandemic, then it closed. How did the people who live from tourism fare? A trip to Marrakech, to a painter in the Dadès Valley and a chauffeur on the edge of the desert.
The streets of Marrakech seem almost eerily empty on this Friday morning. Many shops in the old town are closed on Fridays anyway because people go to the mosque to pray. But now the tourists who otherwise roam the streets are also missing.
