The caravan moves out across flat, ochre dunes and palm-edged terraces as Marrakech slips into gold. Camels step rhythmically, their shadows lengthening while a cool wind from the Atlas carries the last light; a guide in a blue robe leads the line and the city hum fades to the susurrus of palms and distant farm irrigation.

Hydrate before you go
