The sun slides low over a stony plain and the Agafay’s ochre ridges start to glow; camels creak forward while quad tires kick up dust that the evening wind dares to carry away. This private five-hour tour ferries travelers from Marrakech across the low foothills of the High Atlas to a landscape that feels like a rough-cut desert—rocky plateaus instead of sand dunes—where light and shadow carve new angles every minute.
