You leave Marrakech as the medina recedes and the city’s hum thins to a single beat. The transfer rolls past olive terraces and low hills until asphalt gives way to the stony Agafay plain—an expanse of dark limestone boulders that radiate late-afternoon heat. A line of camels waits at the camp; their patient sway and the wind that tugs at scrub set the pace for the evening.
