Low sun slices the pale rock of Agafay; dust lifts in lazy ribbons as quads thread across a moonscape of compacted gravel and scattered scrub. The High Atlas stands dark against the horizon while riders trade speed for the steady sway of a camel back, and by night a ring of lanterns frames Berber drummers and fire dancers under an immense sky.
