Land of Sunset mural by Samir Toumi in Rabat, Morocco, layering an ornamental arch, two boats, an embroidered caftan and a blue portrait bust of Juba II.

🌅 “Land of Sunset / أرض المغيب” — Samir Toumi in Rabat, Morocco 🇲🇦

The 13.7-by-15.7-meter mural layers a Fassi caftan, geometric arches, “Morocco” written in Chinese, the archaic term “Moro” and the head of Juba II across the facade. Toumi told MWN Lifestyle that the fragments together form part of Morocco’s national identity.

💡 What We Could Verify: Rabat’s Museum of History and Civilizations holds a first-century portrait bust of Juba II. The Louvre catalog records a modern plaster cast made from that Rabat original.

The mural was painted at the intersection of Avenue Hassan II and Avenue Al Ghazali in Rabat for Jidar Street Art Festival 2026, organized by Association EAC-L’Boulvart.

🕶️ “Mirar al cielo” — Marc Eslic in Villafruela, Spain 🇪🇸

In Mirar al cielo, a woman lifts her sunglasses to watch the solar eclipse. Eslic says he was painting during village festivities that coincided with the eclipse, so he used colors that appear between light and darkness. The mural stands at Carretera de Lerma 19.

💡 What We Could Verify: The August 12, 2026 eclipse was the first total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century. In Villafruela, totality lasted 105 seconds with the Sun eight degrees above the horizon, according to Spain’s National Geographic Institute.
