Late afternoon light spills across the stony plain of the Agafay Desert, turning the low, pebble-strewn ground into a warm, burnished plain that seems to push the horizon toward the snow-capped High Atlas. Guests arrive from Marrakech by air-conditioned minivan, meet guides, don traditional robes and scarves, then mount camels that step patiently over the compacted alluvial gravel.
