The sun drops low over the Souss-Massa estuary and the camels pick their slow, sure steps through a stand of eucalyptus; salt air and wood smoke meet as the animals carry you along the river corridor. This short, coastal trek puts you in a landscape where reed-lined channels push toward the Atlantic and flocks of flamingos quarter the shallows.
