The limestone plains of the Agafay Desert flatten and heat as the day leans west; the sun hangs heavy and then slips, setting the rocky ground on fire with gold. You arrive from Marrakech in late afternoon, the city’s hum dropping behind you as the desert’s wind reaches out and guides you toward low stone ridges and an open camp prepared for the evening.
