Amtoudi.
You drive out past Bouizakarne until the tarmac narrows into red sandstone walls. Amtoudi smells of dry dust, bruised mint, and sun-baked rock. Above the palm grove sits Agadir Id Aissa, an eighth-hundred-year-old granary balanced on a ridge like an eagle nest. You pay the keyholder a few dirhams, climb the donkey trail, and step into cool stone corridors where families still store grain, honey, and quiet pride.
