Un exemple remarquable des scènes nord-africaines de Churchill, dans lesquelles il capture habilement le paysage et la lumière dont son mentor artistique, John Lavery, lui avait parlé au milieu des années 1930. Walter Sickert, un autre mentor artistique, a appris à Churchill à projeter des images photographiques directement sur une toile pour l'aider à peindre, une technique utilisée avec profit dans le cas présent. Les archives du Studio à Chartwell comprennent cinq photographies, une du chameau et quatre autres, que Churchill a utilisées comme aides.

Grâce aux aides visuelles, Churchill a pu se concentrer sur les couleurs vives, le bronzage du sable et des bâtiments contrastant avec le bleu brillant du ciel, les éclaboussures de vert ajoutant de l'énergie à la peinture. Une autre scène de Marrakech, "Tour de la mosquée Koutoubia", a établi un record de vente aux enchères pour Churchill lorsqu'elle a été vendue en 2021 pour 11 millions de dollars américains.
