The experience

The alarm buzzed before sunrise, and by seven, we were already rolling out of Agadir with the salty breeze still clinging to our jackets. The drive up through the High Atlas was longer than I expected: three hours, but with a couple of quick stops for mint tea and to stretch our legs. Somewhere near Taroudant, I caught the faint scent of eucalyptus as we passed roadside stalls selling oranges stacked in neat pyramids.

When we finally reached Marrakech, the city felt alive: honking scooters, chatter in Arabic and French, and that warm, dry air you only get inland. Our local guide met us right by the Koutoubia Mosque’s shadow. He didn’t rush us. Instead, he pointed out little things I’d never have noticed alone: the way shopkeepers in the medina sprinkle water outside their doors to keep dust down, or how you can hear snake charmers’ flutes before you even see Jemaa el-Fna square. We wandered through winding alleys, past spice sellers and tiny bakeries where the smell of fresh msemen bread made my stomach growl.
