How to use this prompt

"Viewed through a carved stone archway" is the technique — framing the market through an archway is what gives the image a sense of discovery and depth; a straight-on market shot reads as a travel catalogue, an archway frame reads as being inside the medina. "Rows of conical spice mounds in saffron yellow paprika red and turmeric gold" is the colour specificity — naming the spices and their colours forces Midjourney to render the iconic Moroccan spice pyramids rather than a generic market. "Dust motes in the air" is the atmospheric detail that sells the warm light. The shallow depth of field keeps the arch sharp and the alley soft for depth.

Variations to try

  • Swap the spice market for a textile souk with rolled fabrics for a colour-and-pattern variant
  • Change the archway to a keyhole-shaped Moorish arch for a more distinctly Moroccan frame
