You arrive in Marrakech under a low, late-afternoon sun that casts the ochre medina into deep relief; the calls of vendors drift from Jemaa el-Fna while the Koutoubia minaret punctures the skyline. The first day sets a pace—palaces, souks and a slow unraveling of Morocco’s layered histories—before the road tilts up through the High Atlas and the landscape tightens into gorges, oases and windswept passes.
