Marrakech

Breakfast at a Gueliz café, a camel ride through the date-palm oasis, the Yves Saint Laurent museum, a long hammam, and dinner in a riad courtyard with Gnawa musicians after nine.

Mint tea on a rooftop above a secret garden, the souks before they wake, the Saadian tombs at noon, a garden in Berber blue, and Jemaa el-Fnaa turning into an outdoor kitchen as the sun sets.
