The road out of Agadir climbs into a ridge of ochre rock and low scrub; the bus windows frame a changeable landscape as palms and the river valley open like a hand. At Paradise Valley, sunlight strikes the water and the pools invite a cool pause — reflections broken only by the occasional cliff jumper and the soft murmur of the river urging visitors onward.
