More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a rugged 4x4 before dawn and the Atlantic slides away to your right while the land opens to sand and scrub. Wind shapes the small dunes into clean ridgelines that dare you to climb; gulls wheel offshore and the rush of the sea follows like an undercurrent. By late morning you're stepping onto an isolated fishing strand at Sidi R'bat, peering into old fishermen's caves and scanning for shells left by the tide.
