Under the Moroccan sun, the Mercedes weaved through the narrow streets of Fes, transporting the eclectic group to their first destination – the tanneries.

Nora: "Get ready, everyone! The tanneries might be a bit... aromatic."

As they approached, the distinct scent of leather and dyes enveloped them. For Nora, it was a familiar part of her hometown, but for EXO, it was an intriguing new experience.

Chanyeol: "I've never smelled anything like this before. Nora, how do you even breathe?"

Nora: "You get used to it, I promise. But look at the vibrant colors and craftsmanship!"

Amidst the bustling activity, EXO explored the tanneries, capturing the essence of leather-making through pictures and indulging in a bit of shopping for unique Moroccan jackets.

Baekhyun: "Sehun, imagine strutting into a concert wearing one of these. We'd be the most stylish group ever!"

Sehun: "Let's do it! Nora, how much for this one?"

Nora: (laughing) "For you, Sehun, a special discount!"

The journey continued to Volubilis, where ancient Roman ruins stood as a testament to Morocco's rich history. Baekhyun and Sehun, armed with cameras, embraced the chance to freeze these historical moments in time.

Baekhyun: "Imagine living here centuries ago. This place is like a real-life time machine.

Their Moroccan adventure took an unexpected turn at Moulay Yacoub, as they decided to experience a traditional Moroccan Hammam. Laughter echoed through the tiled chambers as they navigated the unfamiliar ritual – from the initial shock of the heat to the refreshing plunge into a sulphur water pool.

Nora: "Gentlemen, get ready for an authentic Moroccan Hammam experience. It might be a bit different from what you're used to!"

Arriving at the Hammam, the distinct smell of Moroccan soap and the sound of flowing water greeted them. The rustic charm of the facility hinted at the centuries-old tradition they were about to partake in.

Suho: "This is quite the experience. I'm looking forward to it."

Chen: "I heard the Hammam is not just about cleanliness; it's also a social and cultural gathering. Let's embrace it fully!"

Inside the Hammam, the ambiance shifted, creating a space where time seemed to slow down. The hot and cold water treatments offered both a challenge and a refreshing reprieve.

Baekhyun: "I've never experienced anything quite like this. It's like stepping into history."

Sehun: "So, this is the Moroccan way of relaxing. Nora, you're showing us a whole new world."

The sulphur water pool, with its unique properties, became a focal point for their shared experience.

Chanyeol: "I feel like a new man. This sulphur water is magic."

Kai: "Nora, thanks for introducing us to this side of Morocco. It's an adventure we won't forget."

In this chapter of their Moroccan odyssey, EXO found themselves not only immersed in the rich history of the Hammam but also bonding over a uniquely Moroccan form of relaxation. The memories forged in Moulay Yacoub would become a treasured part of their journey.
