The engine clicks, gravel sprays, and the horizon opens: low stone plains roll away under a wide Saharan sky. In the Agafay, the ride is about contrast—sharp, pale rock underfoot and sudden green ribbons where seasonal wadis cut through. You follow sun-scoured tracks into a landscape that feels both raw and intimate, with a hilltop pause that hands you a clear view back toward the snow-dark silhouette of the High Atlas.
