More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light spills across Marrakech’s ochre walls as you climb into an air-conditioned vehicle and head toward the High Atlas. The road rises, crenelated ridgelines sharpening against sky, and the driver steers past stone kasbahs and terraces where Berber villagers tend almond groves. By evening you’ll be pitched beside dunes that breathe and reform with every wind, blue city alleyways waiting on later days.
