More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The road from Marrakech loosens its grip on the city—orange walls and scooter traffic fall away—and the stony plains of Agafay open like a wide, wind-shaped stage. Gravel clinks under quad tyres while the Atlas Mountains press their ridges into the light; later, camels step through low scrub as the sun bleeds gold across rocky hummocks. Around the camp fire, drums and chants set the pace for a long desert night.
