Before dawn the burner’s roar breaks the pre-dawn hush and the balloon fills like a slow animal waking. You rise from the palm groves and low suburbs of Marrakech as the first light slides off the High Atlas; fields and kasbah roofs shrink into a grid while the city exhales below. The air lifts you gently and the Atlas pushes the sun into the sky, painting ochre plains and ocher buildings in hard light.
