The Agafay's stony plains open like a challenge: low, bleached rocks underfoot, the Atlas Mountains brooding on the horizon. Riders set off from Marrakech in air-conditioned transport, then mount quads that thrum over hard-packed tracks, following dry riverbeds and ridgelines where wind-sculpted stones seem to lean toward the bikes.
