Before dawn the minibus eases out of Marrakech, headlights cutting across olive groves as the Atlas foothills recede and the Atlantic draws nearer — a cool blue line that seems to dare you to keep pace. By midmorning the skyline of Casablanca appears: broad boulevards, echoes of French Art Deco, and the dome and minaret silhouettes that frame the city’s modern rhythm.
