You leave Fez before dawn, the city’s alleys shrinking behind you as cedar forests and cedar-scented air climb into the Middle Atlas. The road bends past Ifrane’s chalet-like houses, threads through nomad tents, and pushes on across high passes until the desert light opens—gold dunes that seem to shift with their own will.
