The sun drops low over a stone-strewn plain; heat loosens and the Agafay’s rocky hummocks throw long, cool shadows. You arrive by air-conditioned transfer, step down onto hard-packed earth and feel the desert’s hush—an open, wind-scoured space that moves at its own slow tempo. A short camel walk takes you up a low ridge for a panoramic sunset of ochre and distant High Atlas silhouettes, then the camp lights come alive and the evening slows.
