You climb into the saddle as the sun leans toward the palm crowns, the city’s heat giving way to an open sweep of trunks and rustling fronds. Pellets of light move across the trail as a slow caravan of camels steps into the Palmeraie, Marrakech’s broad palm grove where rows of date palms stretch outward from the medina.
