You mount a dromedary as wind skims past a fringe of palms, the city’s red roofs shrinking behind you. The Palmeraie of Marrakech unfurls: rows of fan-like date palms and pockets of cultivated soil threaded by old irrigation channels. The camel shifts, steady as a tram, and the grove leans in like an audience watching you pass.

Wear a wide-brim hat or the provided cheich to guard against sun and sand while on the camel.
