The Experience

I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to laugh so much before even getting on the camel. Our guide, Youssef, met us right at the port — he had this easy way about him, like he’d done this a thousand times but still actually cared. The drive to the ranch was barely ten minutes, but I remember the windows down and that salty-sweet smell you only get near the sea in Morocco. My friend tried to pronounce “l’foukkia” (the blue tunic) and Youssef just grinned and said it better himself — I think we all butchered it, honestly.

The camels were waiting in a line, looking almost bored until we got close. Mine blinked at me slowly like he was sizing me up. There’s something weirdly calming about their pace — you sway more than you expect, but after a minute it feels natural. We put on these bright blue nomad costumes for photos (I still have sand in my shoes from kneeling down for that shot), and I swear the color made everything pop against the eucalyptus trees as we rode through Aghroud village. Kids waved at us; one little girl ran alongside for a bit, giggling when my camel snorted.

We stopped by the Souss river — there was this hush except for birds (flamingos if you’re lucky; we saw a few white shapes in the distance). The air smelled kind of sharp from the eucalyptus and river mud. On the way back I started to feel that ache behind my knees from sitting funny, but then someone mentioned tea and suddenly everyone perked up. Back at the ranch they poured us mint tea so sweet it made my teeth hurt (in a good way) and handed around these crumbly Moroccan cakes. I still think about that view from atop the camel — Agadir behind us, sun starting to dip, just quiet for a second before someone cracked another joke about our “nomad” fashion sense.
