The sun hangs low over Agafay's stony plains as you climb onto a camel's broad back, the animal's slow rhythm setting the pace. Wind scours the pale volcanic rock, and the Atlas Mountains cut a jagged line to the south; light slides across hard-packed earth, turning it honey and ochre. For the next hour the desert seems to test your balance and patience, the camel's sway nudging you forward toward a dinner camp where lanterns will bloom.
