A warm wind lifts a spray of sand as the minibus eases away from Erg Chebbi’s highest ridgelines; behind you, the dunes ripple like an ocean frozen in time. Morning in a blue-washed alley of Chefchaouen feels entirely different—sharp light on painted doorways, the low murmur of markets—yet both landscapes belong to the same sweep of Moroccan geography.
