Sunset arrives quick over the Agafay—hazy gold sliding across a stony plain that holds heat like a slow ember. You step onto a waiting camel as the city drops behind you, the pack animal dipping and rising to the rhythm of the track. The ride is short—about 30 minutes of low-slung sway—but long enough for the desert to make itself known: wind-sculpted rocks, distant ridgelines, and a sky that deepens from apricot to indigo.
