The wind moves through the open sidecar before the city does — a low, mechanical whisper that frames the first glance at narrow alleys, sun-washed façades and the palm grove’s shimmering outline. In 90 minutes you’ll shift between eras: the angular Art Deco avenues of Gueliz with their faded cinemas and clock shops, the packed lanes of the Medina where market voices press close, and the slow green of the Palmeraie where date palms lean like watchful elders.
