The soft thud of camel hooves, the tang of eucalyptus, and a low Atlantic breeze set the scene six kilometres from Agadir. Riders mount at a family-run ranch and move slowly through shaded groves, pick their way up wind-scrubbed dunes, and finish where the Oued Souss meets the sea — a stretch of marshland that draws wintering pink flamingos and other migratory birds.
