You leave Marrakech just after sunrise, the city’s ochre walls shrinking behind you as the road climbs into the High Atlas. The air thins and the landscape tightens into folded ridges, terraces and dry riverbeds that dare you to look farther. Small villages punctuate the slopes—whitewashed houses, flat roofs, and satellite dishes—where children wave from stone lanes and goats pick their way on switchbacks.
