More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun cuts low across the Agafay's hard-packed stone as you throttle a quad over ridges of dust and gravel, wind pressing at your jacket. The plain feels alive — flat expanses interrupted by basalt outcrops and occasional tufts of scrub — while the Atlas Mountains loom hazy to the south. After the adrenaline run, the pace shifts: a rhythm of hooves and sway as you ride a camel toward a low ridge and a lunch of tajine and mint tea in a tented camp.
