You step from the air-conditioned vehicle into a strip of palm shade where the air tastes faintly of citrus and dust. The palms lean as if eavesdropping on the Atlas Mountains in the distance; the desert beyond doesn't wait — it nudges you forward with sun-warmed sand and tracks scored by local buggies.
