Caravan of camels at Tetouan, May 1891

"We breakfasted this morning under the live oaks and soon after started for Tetuan. After a pleasant ride of about two hours we found ourselves before the walls of the most picturesque city I ever expect to see. On all sides are the beautiful mountains & the city itself, white against the blue sky, surrounded by walls, with parapets and towers and arched gateways bristling with cannon, was like a dream, too wonderful to be true."

"Our camp is again near a Koubba, but this time it is an elaborate structure, looking from a distance like a gate-way, with three arches and a flight of steps leading to the top where the people come to pray."

Our camp by the walls of Tetouan

"We have a fine view of Tetuan & of the mountains and city but no shade, which is rather a pity, but we shall not mind it for a few days."

"Soon after arriving we walked to the City, through the narrow, fascinating streets and to the marketplace. Never have I dreamed of anything so interesting and strange, it was like living in an Arabian nights’ tale. Our Kodaks will describe it much better than I can, I shall not even try to."

Gate of the Ghetto Tetouan, Morocco, May 1891

"After we left the palace we went through the Ghetto, the most picturesque part of the city shut off from the rest by a gate that is locked at night, with even narrower streets, arched over in many places & houses with latticed windows."
