The sun lowers behind a low, stone-strewn plain and the Agafay Desert changes color—ochres turning to cool slate—and you’re on a lineup of nine quads, engines murmuring like a chorus ready to push off. The track isn’t dunes but rocky reg, punctuated by scrub, flat plateaus and sudden gullies that test throttle control; every turn delivers a new vantage back toward the Atlas foothills.
