You leave Marrakech as the city’s heat loosens and the road unfurls toward a hard, pale landscape—Agafay’s stone desert stretches ahead like a compacted sea of light-brown plateaus. The 4x4 banks over low ridges, the guide points to scattered berber hamlets and a distant ridge where the High Atlas pins the skyline with ragged snow in winter. The air here has an honesty to it; wind scours the scrub and the ground holds stories of pastoral grazing rather than Saharan sand.
