The light thins over the Agafay reg as the convoy leaves Marrakech; stones take on ochre and white tones and the first chill of evening starts to move across the hills. Riders climb lightly onto dromedaries for a short, steady procession that feels slow and deliberate—camels carrying you along ridgelines while the horizon widens and the sun sinks.
