Late afternoon light thins across rows of tall date palms as you leave the red city behind; the Palmeraie breathes a steady, green rhythm and the camels rise and fall like slow waves beneath the sky. On this sunset tour you mount a dromedary for roughly an hour of quiet travel through palm-lined tracks, the animal’s gait setting a measured pace while the city noise becomes a distant hum.
