The sun slides low over the stony plains and the Agafay rocks glow like embers. You climb onto a wooden saddle, feel the camel rise and fall, and the small caravan moves across a landscape of low hills and scrub that seems to stretch toward the High Atlas silhouette. Salt-dry wind brushes your face as the sky shifts through ochres and violet.
