A caravan waits at the edge of the city: low-slung camels blinking against a wide sky, guides in blue wraps moving with practiced calm. Within 30 minutes of a pickup through Marrakech’s winding medina and new avenues you reach the Palmeraie — a deliberate green pocket where palms rise like columns and pathways slice shadow across the sand.
