The sun lifts off Marrakech and, within an hour, the city’s ochre walls give way to stony plains and the ragged silhouette of the Atlas Mountains. You arrive at Agergour Plateau where wind and altitude conspire to lift a tandem wing; moments later you’re airborne, the Agafay’s rocky dunes shrinking beneath you and Berber villages sketching the valley like a map.
