The sun sits low over shallow salt flats as a caravan of camels steps out from the park into the lagoon’s rim — slow, deliberate, and patient. Riders settle into padded saddles while the guide calls directions in French or Arabic; the animals plod along tracks lined with prickly pear and aloe vera, the lagoon stretching to one side and low, whitewashed Berber homes to the other.
