Hamza Ettaki Salt, Dust & Saffron

Salt, Dust & Saffron

Thirty Days Across Morocco

by Hamza Ettaki

From the blue alleys of Chefchaouen to the dunes of Merzouga — a slow journey through the country that taught me how to travel.

About the book

In the spring I set out with a backpack, a notebook, and no fixed plan. Thirty days later I had crossed the Rif, the Middle Atlas and the edge of the Sahara — and filled every page.

Salt, Dust & Saffron is the story of that trip: the souk merchants who became friends, the mountain villages where time runs differently, and the long desert nights under more stars than I knew existed.

Inside you'll find

  • Twelve chapters, one for each region I crossed
  • Practical notes on routes, transport and where to sleep
  • Recipes collected from the kitchens that fed me along the way
