The engine roars and dust flares as the skyline of Marrakech shrinks behind you — a raw, stony plain spreads ahead, rimmed by low mountains and bleached riverbeds. Driving a 1000cc buggy across Agafay’s rocky expanses feels immediate: the land pushes back with short climbs, loose scree and sudden gullies, while the late-afternoon light sculpts the terrain into hard shadows and warm ochre.
