The engine growls and the palm shadows flicker as the buggy peels away from Marrakech’s paved edges into the Palmeraie’s ochre light. Within minutes the city’s call to prayer fades and the landscape opens into rows of date palms, scrubby rock desert and low, sun-baked villages; the ride feels less like a tour and more like a local reconnaissance.
