A squat dockyard crane creaks as your ship eases into Agadir's port and the Atlantic wind carries the scent of eucalyptus. Ten minutes inland, a ranch opens onto low dunes and a grove of blue-gray eucalyptus where a line of dromedaries waits, patient and deliberate. Guides fit you to the saddle, hand you a brief safety rundown, and help you settle into the slow sway that made camels the original coastal transport.

Use a small crossbody or chest pocket to keep phones and cameras from swinging while the camel moves.
