A rose in a field by the city of Kelaat M'Gouna in Morocco's Atlas Mountains. The heady aroma of the Rosa Damascena, a variety introduced in the days of the caravan trade, perfumes hedges and fields irrigated by two wadis between the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara. Everything revolves around roses: the names of hotels, the colour of taxis, cosmetics sold in countless shops, necklaces offered by children in the streets, a monument standing in Kelaat M'Gouna and its annual festival, which attracted thousands of visitors before Covid-19.
