The engine hums awake in Casablanca as the group spills onto boulevards that still smell faintly of sea and fresh bread. Over ten days the itinerary unfolds like a map being traced by hand: Atlantic façades and imperial medinas, cedar forests that creak with wind, red-earth kasbahs stacked against the High Atlas, and the vast, shifting dunes of Erg Chebbi where night opens to a sky full of stars.
