The minivan peels out of Marrakech at first light and the city’s ochre walls give way to folded foothills. By mid-morning the road descends into the green incision of the Ourika Valley, where a narrow river cuts terraces into the hills and locals tend plots of vegetables. Small villages appear — stone houses, flat roofs, children running after goats — and a short village trek leads to open views over the cultivated bottoms.
