The sun slopes low over the Palmeraie as you climb onto the broad-backed dromedary; the camel’s slow, rolling gait sets the tempo and the palms lean in like quiet witnesses. In an hour you move through shaded lanes and open clearings where the light catches on trunks and the Atlas foothills punctuate the horizon. A mint tea pause—hot, sweet, brisk—breaks the silence and re-centers the group.
