A whitewashed minaret slices the morning sky as the road leaves Agadir and the land opens into tawny ramparts and ochre houses. By midmorning the city of Taroudant appears like a compact fortress — its eight kilometers of clay walls holding the steady bustle of souks and cafes. The air carries cumin and citrus; palms in the valley below rustle and seem to lean toward travelers as if urging them onward.
