The sun is low over Casablanca as a private 4WD eases away from the Hassan II Mosque, tires crunching on the outskirts before a long ribbon of highway unspools south and east. Over ten days this trip alternates between city alleys where old doors guard centuries of commerce and vast sand seas where dunes rearrange themselves daily, daring you to walk their slopes.
