Another moment highlights Morocco’s famed hospitality, with a traditional mint-tea service captured mid-pour. A server in ceremonial attire pours tea from an ornate silver teapot into colorful glasses, set against an intricately tiled interior.

Architectural details feature prominently throughout her photo series. Several images focus on elaborately decorated interiors, from carved plaster walls and geometric zellige tilework to arched ceilings and mosaic floors.

One wide shot shows a grand seating area lined with patterned cushions beneath an ornate archway, showcasing the craftsmanship and symmetry that define traditional Moroccan design.

A dramatic candlelit dinner scene adds another layer to the journey. Set under tall arches, the long dining table has candelabras, crystal glassware and traditional dishes, while a white horse stands calmly at the far end of the space.

Madonna also shared a close-up portrait taken in soft light, wearing statement sunglasses, diamond earrings and a fur-collared coat, offering another fashion moment within the travel narrative.

In the final images, Madonna is photographed lighting candles inside what appears to be a historic religious or sacred space.

She captioned the post: “Moroccan Holiday.”
