The sun leans low over the Palmeraie, and long shadows thread between rows of date palms as your camel rises and falls with a slow, disciplined rhythm. You leave the red city’s tile and market clamor behind for a quieter landscape—an irrigated palm grove that edges the Sahara’s reach and frames a sunset that burns the sky copper.

Respect the home visit
When visiting a Berber house, follow the family’s lead—remove shoes if requested and accept mint tea with both hands.
