The city opens like a map under the passenger window as your private driver threads coastal avenues toward the Hassan Tower. Salt-scented breezes from the Atlantic push against the carriage windows; in the medina, alleys compress sound into a steady pulse of merchants and foot traffic. Your local guide steps out with a practiced route, and the tour moves from the marble hush of mausoleums to the wind-hammered ramparts overlooking the Bouregreg estuary.
