Salt air and hot sand trade places as you leave Agadir’s palm-lined boulevards and drive inland toward the dunes. By mid-morning the desert opens — a field of ribbed, wind-sculpted sand that shifts under your tires and boots. Guides hand out helmets and goggles; engines rumble, camels lower for passengers, and boards sit ready on the lee side of a golden crest.
