You arrive on a cool morning as the Agafay plains open wide—an expanse of stone and scrub that catches the light like a wide, brushed canvas. The Atlas Mountains loom to the south, their ridgelines a steady, distant presence while the desert floor nudges you forward with wind that seems to push the horizon an inch at a time.
