You lift off from a sunbaked ridge outside Marrakech and the wind carries you above a stony sea of the Agafay Desert. Below, the desert's low scrub and terraced Berber plots stitch past Lalla Takerkoust lake; the pilot’s voice is steady as the world opens into long, dry shadows and the Atlas range sitting like a folded wall on the horizon.
