You pull away from Jemaa el‑Fna as the city’s spice-scented air thins and the Atlas Mountains loom like a folded horizon. Windows open to an engine’s steady hum, the driver offering local routes — a coastal detour, a high mountain pass, or a quiet kasbah road where olive groves lean toward the sun.
