The engine rumbles to life and clay-colored plains open ahead: low, rocky ridges, scattered olive scrub and the distant palms of Marrakech shrinking behind you. Riders fan out under a wide sky as guides set a measured pace, the quad’s tires crunching across hard-packed tracks and soft sand pockets that dare you to push a little harder.
