The sun dips low over Agadir and the ranch’s eucalyptus trees cast long, fragrant shadows as you mount a camel for the slow sway toward the Souss River. The animal’s gait lulls conversation; guides move easily between riders, pointing out a flash of pink—flamingos feeding in the river flats—and the distant silhouette of the king’s palace catching the last light.
