You step from the shaded riad courtyard into the heat of Jemaa el-Fnaa, where the call to prayer threads through spice-scented air and vendors call the day awake. Cobblestones rattle under the tires of an air-conditioned private vehicle as the guide folds the city behind you and points the route north—through Casablanca’s coastal corniche, along Rabat’s river mouth, into the cobalt alleys of Chefchaouen and the labyrinthine medina of Fes.
