The late afternoon light in the Agafay Desert sharpens shadow and stone; low sun throws hard lines across the stony plains as a private 4x4 carries you out of Marrakech toward the horizon. Camels wait on the plateau for a measured, one‑hour trek that moves slow enough to watch the sky change from blue to copper. You end the ride at a traditional nomad tent where mint and berber tea warm cold hands and the desert exhales behind you.
