Dust kicks up as the convoy leaves Marrakech behind and the city’s ochre roofs dissolve into a wide, stony plain. Under a low sky the Agafay’s moonlike ridges press close; camels sway in a slow, time-honed rhythm while quad bikes hum against the horizon. By the time you climb a rocky rise, the sun drops gold across the hard-packed earth and the desert seems to push you forward toward the view.
