You climb into the rhythm of the camel’s gait as palms lean over the track and the High Atlas keeps watch on the horizon. The ride moves slowly through the Palmeraie—Marrakech’s extensive palm grove—where the trees blur into rows and local life appears in passing: gardeners, Berber houses, and occasional grazing goats. The camel’s steady sway becomes the measure of the place.
