Hicham works in the Medina carrying luggage or parcels for tourists especially in the pedestrian section of the market. When the tourists arrive, he fills up the karoussa with luggage and leads them to their destination.***This NFT is 2/7 of MARRAKESH 2021 — a photography NFT collection supporting its co-creators. In 2021, Morocco was in lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19, tourism was suspended around the world, and many people lost their jobs and livelihoods. Photographer Hassan Hajjaj shot his first-ever NFT collection to support his friends struggling throughout the pandemic. Most of the co-creators work in the popular tourist destination Jamaa El Fna square (meaning “internal gathering place”), which has been a community center for over 500 years. It’s the place where locals and tourists alike go to buy goods and see friends. It’s a magical place with sounds, smells, and an evolving atmosphere to match the hour. Come meet the people of Marrakesh.
