| Summary |
"Mogreb-el-Acksa: A Journey in Morocco" by R. B. Cunninghame Graham is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book offers an exploration of Morocco through the eyes of the author as he ventures into the little-known regions of the country. With a focus on the landscapes, cultures, and people he encounters, Graham aims to convey the essence of travel and the experiences that shape it. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the author's journey, beginning with a boat ride towards the harbor of Tangier. He is joined by companions including a Syrian gentleman and a Moor, emphasizing themes of camaraderie and the anticipation of exploration. As they prepare for their journey to the city of Tarudant—described as an elusive destination rich in natural resources and steeped in mystery—the author reflects on the cautionary advice he received from friends about the perils of travel in the region. The author describes the lively atmosphere on board the ship, filled with a diverse array of passengers that illustrate the melting pot of cultures present in Morocco, setting a vivid tone for the adventures to follow.
