The morning light on the Atlantic takes on a metallic edge as the 4x4 threads a stony track toward Tifnit’s fishing cove, where low boats and grooved rock faces set the tone for a day of contrasts. Salt-laden wind pushes across sandy corridors, then eases into the sheltered estuary of Oued Massa where birds wheel and dunes rise like small inland seas.
