Morning light over the Atlantic softens the edges of the dunes as the 4x4 threads away from Agadir toward the Mini Sahara. Sand meets sea here — a narrow desert ribbon where low dunes rise like gentle waves and argan trees hold goats like ornaments. The guide leads the group through villages where carved doors and clay courtyards show a lived-in Berber geometry, and the smell of mint tea drifts from homes that open their kitchens for a shared lunch.
