No Experience Required

You arrive in Casablanca beneath a low, late-afternoon light; the Hassan II Mosque throws a lattice of shadows across the Atlantic and your guide slides open the car window to let seawind carry the smell of frying fish and mint. Over the next ten days the landscape will change like chapters — coastal boulevards, blue alleys clinging to the Rif, Roman stones dressed in morning dust, cedar forests where macaques argue from the branches, and finally the dunes of Merzouga rising like an ocean of sand.
