You roll off the highway from Casablanca and the city’s red walls appear like a promise: ochre ramparts, sunflare on the Koutoubia minaret and a palm grove that dares you to slow down. The day unfolds as a sequence of contrasts — the palm-shaded rhythm of a guided camel ride with Berber mint tea, followed by the tight, bustling alleys of Souk Semmarine and the open chaos of Jemaa el Fna.
