You step out of the air‑conditioned transfer and into a horizon of palms and dry earth; the Palmeraie’s tracks fan away like veins through the grove, and as the engine hums the palms seem to lean in, daring you down sandy lanes. This is Marrakech at its kinetic best—dust, light, and the late‑day hush before sunset.
