The bus eases out of Casablanca before dawn and the air changes: salt from the Atlantic gives way to a dry, herb-tinged wind as the Rif Mountains rise. By late afternoon the town appears—walls and alleys painted a range of washed blues that make the medina feel like a living canvas. Visitors stroll narrow lanes where light and shadow play across doorways and piled rugs.
