The sun tilts low over the Palmeraie and the palm trunks throw long, cool shadows across a dry, sandy track. You climb into the camel saddle, feel the slow, rolling gait push you forward, and the grove seems to breathe around you — palms leaning like watchful companions as the Atlas Mountains flatten to a bluish silhouette in the distance.
