The sun leans low and the sand sharpens into ridges; wind sculpts each crest while the Atlantic hunches in the distance. Arriving from Agadir, the road slips through banana groves and painted village houses before the landscape opens into Timlalin — a stretch of golden dunes where the shore dares the desert to come closer. Visitors move from an air-conditioned transfer to the raw texture of sand underboot, trading asphalt for the loose, shifting slope of the dunes.
