No Experience Required

You step out of a cool, air-conditioned van onto red earth and the smell of citrus—Marrakech shrinking behind you as the Atlas and Atlantic start to rearrange the day. Choose the route and the landscape reshapes itself: a river insisting through basalt at Ouzoud, wind and gulls pulling at fishing nets in Essaouira, or the ochre blocks of Ait Ben Haddou standing like a human-made cliff against the horizon.
