Wind-scoured stone and low scrub stretch toward the Atlas foothills as the minivan leaves Marrakesh behind. Golden light softens the plateau of the Agafay Desert, where rocky plains take the place of sand dunes and the evening breeze seems to push visitors gently toward the horizon. A single-file line of camels ambles across the broken ground; the animals’ steady rhythm sets the pace for a slow, private sunset.

Hydrate before you go

A wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and SPF will protect you during the late-afternoon sun and reflective rock.
