Dust lifts behind you and the palms seem to lean in to watch as your guide opens the throttle on a 300cc quad. The Palmeraie — Marrakech’s broad ribbon of date palms and irrigation channels — stretches out in a patchwork of sand tracks, small dunes and cultivated groves. The smell of warm dust and eucalyptus follows the machines while the Atlas foothills sit hazy to the south.
