You step onto the Corniche and the Atlantic wind pushes inland, scattering gulls and the smell of salt across palm-lined promenades. The Hassan II Mosque rises to your right—its minaret a precise line against the sky—while narrow alleys of the Old Medina draw you into a slower rhythm of carts, spices and tiled doorways.
