The Palmeraie opens like a stretch of cool palms beyond Marrakech’s red city walls — trunks throwing long shadows, a string of camels stepping patient and sure through dust and date fronds. You mount a padded saddle for an hour-long caravan that moves at the steady, rocking pace camels have held across North Africa for centuries, then return to a tent for mint tea and a transition into the slow ritual of the hammam.
