The tour begins on a highway out of Fez as the city’s stone roofs shrink behind you and the air shifts from urban heat to cedar-scented cool. By midday the Middle Atlas slopes open, then fold down into the ochre sweep of the Ziz valley and finally into the wide, wind-sculpted ridges of Erg Chebbi. In Merzouga the dunes move like breathing hills; a camel caravan threads the sand and the camp waits with steaming mint tea.
