Morning light cuts across Marrakech and the city exhales — the ochre medina warms, palm shadows lengthen, and a ribbon of cobalt waits behind a high wall. Step through Majorelle’s gate and the world slows: bamboo stalks lean like watchful guides, fountains chatter, and exotic plants crowd narrow paths while cobalt buildings hold the light.
