Inside a medina exists the remnants of a thriving city. Artisan shops, palaces, fountains, mosques, monuments, schools and residential homes all make up its core. Nevertheless, animals, motorcycles and bicycles are the only forms of transportation that can run through most medinas. In some instances the streets were built narrow and confusing to slow down invaders. Thus, visiting the medina is like getting lost in a wonderful maze of alleyways, sinuous streets and dead ends.

Carpe Diem: seize the moment. A kid having fun while walking home.
I'm a slow walker, but I never walk backwards: a silent scream of an old lady in an empty narrow street.
