A low sun turns the Agafay plain to ochre and slate as your vehicle leaves Marrakech’s bustle behind. The stone desert stretches flat and honest—pebbled flats, scrubby tufts, and sculpted gullies—where the horizon takes on a long, patient line. Camels shift and sigh; the evening air cools and the first stars prick through.

Dress in layers
