A late-morning minibus eases away from Agadir’s harbor and the Atlantic air tightens around you—salt on the wind, engine hum, small fishing villages slipping by. After a coastal drive, the world opens into a range of pale ridges: the Timlalin dunes, where Sahara sand spills toward the sea. Guides pause for a safety briefing; boards click, and the first run down a steep face is a clean, urgent thrill as sand pushes and hushes beneath you.
