The day begins with the engine’s low rumble as the 4×4 slips away from Agadir’s coastal road and heads inland, the Atlantic shrinking behind you while scrubland and ochre hills open up. Wind shapes the dunes ahead; the Small Sahara waits like a quiet challenge, its ridgelines daring you to climb and stare across a stripped horizon.
