_match.jpg)
Come off the Tizi n'Tinififft pass and the desert opens wide. Agdz sits at the head of the Drâa Valley, hemmed in by the jagged, ribbed wall of Jbel Kissane. You smell woodsmoke, wet irrigation mud, and dry palm fronds baking in the sun. Walking through the decaying earthen lanes of Tamnougalt just south of town, you hear water trickling through ancient seguias while farmers tend small plots of alfalfa under date palms.
