More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon light thins across the Palmeraie and the camels move with steady, ancient patience — riders climb slowly into the high seats and the grove opens like a walled garden of palms and sand. The sun slides low and the air cools; palms throw long, joining shadows that chatter with the wind. From the back of a dromedary, the city’s noise falls away and the surrounding villages come into view: low houses, flat fields, and gardeners bent over irrigation channels.
