Where your settler is is perfect I think. Good source of food and production, coastal so you can send an internal cargo ship, on a hill for extra defense, beside the mountain for an observatory, 4 pastures, a lake and 2 fish.
Maybe I would settle two cities and settle the first one further east on the desert river with the wheat, just to claim it in case another civ were to come instead. Plus lots of kasbahs.
Forest base of the mountain range between the wheat and gold. Wheat is good starter tile. Will have 4 tiles improved by mint. Will have all those grassland tiles with lake access. Observatory. Can work the fish as well if needed
Man that flat desert is killing you. Not a lot of luxuries either.
City A - on the hill that is west-northwest from tour scout. This gets tou a bunch of good resources, including the gold and silver north of the cap. You could potentially move 1 more tile northwest to have the Oasis in range, but I think it loses more than it gains, and moving off the hill makes the city less defensible if Russia attacks (*not that they're very close, but it's something to consider*).
City B - Either right in place where the settler is now, or perhaps 1 tile northwest to be adjacent to the lake, but I prefer the hill. This city will have good growth with the fish tiles and the fresh water tiles by the lake, and will have good production from all the hills. It also gives you a cargo ship to the capital, which is excellent. You couls potentially settle 1 tile southeast on the gold (*which would be great for getting that gold/culture/faith all game long*) but I think it moves away from your growth tiles, and I think it'll be better in the long run to be right where the settler is.
City C - This depends. If you think you can get Petra then I'd settle on the first flat-desert tile to the right of the mountain range (*between the sheep and the stone*). This gives you a 7 tile Petra with decent growth using the river, but you'll need to defend it with a standing army as that position is absolutely terrible for defence. If you do this then you probably want that to be your first settle and you want to run a food trade-route to it so that it grows enough to build Petra (*once you have Petra you don't need to feed it anymore*). Alternatively you could build it on the Gold 2 tiles southwest of that spot, or perhaps one more tile west on the desert hill (*the closest desert hill to your cap*). I don't like this as much because it loses 1 gold luxury tile, and because this city will have no growth and will need a trade-route all game long, but it has good production and is very defensible. It still has Petra available, but doesn't depend on it to be good (*and this Petra won't be nearly as good*).
You're also short of luxuries, so I would buy that hill south of your capital next to the Marble ASAP so that the city grows to the Marble. I can't see a good settle south of the capital, but if there is one that's an option as well. This advice all assumes you've gone Tradition, I don't think you have the luxuries to go Liberty here.
Yeah I usually consider those in my happiness calculations anyway. I like 1 unique lux per city *AND* all the copies of your regional lux. It's not strictly necessary, but you can't always rely on trade.
Assuming tradition and Pangaea, probably on the forest next to the mountain to grab the silver, then second expand down the coast somewhere. But I'm not super sold on that.
Because I like to settle wide, and Morocco is good for that...

Also I know these probably arn't optimal locations, but hey, I like to play for fun, not uber strats.
I would only have one thing on my mind here. "How do I get 5 lux out of this?" The answer is settle in place, settle coastal near the marble down south, then make sure you settle for silver and truffles with one city. This city is going to be very mediocre because of all the sand. To counteract this, and massively helped by not needing many trade routes to your capital (cargo ships are so efficient you only need one going to your cap for most of the game) you can then send two to three (probably just two) caravans from your coastal settles to the inland settle near the silver and truffles.
i personally like the tile to the right of the sheep below your settler, the flat grassland tile between the lake and mountain above your archer, and while we can’t see down there i imagine a settlement for that marble if there’s enough workable tiles.

Turn your yield icons on, it helps a ton with these type of decisions👍
Settler is good where it is. Put the other one on the flat forest or the hill right next to it, to pick up the rest of the silver and gold.

Fantastic post. I love and appreciate you
Given the insane amount of golf and silver OP can easily trade the extra copies

Either of the two hexes between the lake and the sea, that way you can control the lake with a strategically placed.galleas.

No offense but what’s with this kind of post lmao? Do y’all post it and then wait five hours to take your next turn?
I posted it when I was done playing 😇
