The sun leans low over a stony plain as the convoy leaves Marrakech, and the Agafay Desert opens like a wide, rocky sea. Salt-streaked ridges and compacted gravel radiate heat by day and cool quickly after sunset; the quad’s engine hums while dust and light paint the landscape gold. Riders trade the city’s pulse for the desert’s clipped breath.
