Marrakech is a sensory education. The medina moves at its own pace and is entirely indifferent to your schedule. Riad gardens mute the noise. The four o’clock light turns every wall terracotta. And then there is the desert, which is genuinely hard to describe until you have slept in it.
"Nothing prepares you for how quiet the Sahara is at night. It is the thing people talk about years later."
