EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enchanting allure of Fez, Morocco's ancient city, with a focus on the beautifully restored Water Clock located on Talaa Kibeera, or the Street of Ancient Clocks. The Bou Inania complex, a historical and architectural marvel, is home to this intriguing timepiece. The Water Clock, an essential component of Moroccan heritage, has undergone meticulous restoration efforts, although only six of the original twelve bronze bowls remain. Each bowl once held water that flowed into the next, creating a cascading effect that signaled the passage of hours. The intricate design of the clock, with its geometric patterns and Arabic inscriptions, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of North Africa. The Water Clock stands proudly amidst the bustling street scene, a reminder of the city's past glory and the enduring allure of its ancient traditions.
