The sun slides low behind the Atlas foothills and the Agafay’s stony plains take on a bronze glow. You feel the thrum of a twin-engine quad under you as the guide leads a line across rutted tracks, dust rising like brief applause. Later, a slow camel walk follows the light—gentle, rhythmic, and quiet—before an open-air dinner under a broad sky where stars push through the cooling air.
