The sun slides low over the Agafay's stony plains and the last heat exhales across flat, ochre rock—this is where the evening begins. You arrive from Marrakech by minivan, move past argan groves and scrub, and step into a landscape that refuses to be quiet: the wind shapes the rocks and the open sky dares you to look farther.
