Morning light breaks over the Bou Regreg as a private vehicle crosses the plains from Fes and the Atlantic appears like a flat, reflective horizon: travelers step out into air that smells faintly of salt and orange blossom. The day trip to Rabat moves at a deliberate pace—strolling fortified ramparts, pausing where storks brace themselves atop the unfinished Hassan Tower, and following the splayed alleys of the Udayas Kasbah down to the river.
