Amine B. is a Moroccan citizen who has lived in Morocco for at least 20 years. His favourite place in Morocco is Tangier, where he is from. He speaks about his adoration of the medina (old town of the city): "It has a beautiful Mediterranean vibe, with its coastal views, soft light, and relaxed rhythm of life. The Medina’s narrow alleys, whitewashed walls, and colorful doors create a timeless charm. I love how it feels both peaceful and full of quiet energy, a place where you can wander, reflect, and feel deeply connected to the spirit of the city."
