The engine rumbles to life and the scrubby plain opens ahead: low, stony hills roll away under a high sky and the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant spine. Drivers steer buggies over packed tracks and honey-colored rock while the late-afternoon light sharpens each ridge; the desert seems to push forward with a dry, steady breath.
