You meet at your hotel and within minutes the city’s whitewashed medina recedes as the Atlantic wind steadies your pace. The camels lift and lower with an easy rhythm, carrying riders out of the eucalyptus and mimosa groves onto wide sands; dunes rise like quiet obstacles between forest and shore, and the sea dares you with foam at your animals’ feet.
