Early light over the Anti-Atlas throws long shadows across a two-lane road as the private vehicle peels away from Agadir. The driver slides through almond-colored towns, saffron fields at Taliouine, and the ochre kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou before the landscape opens into the orange waves of Erg Chebbi at Merzouga.
