The engine ticks as the buggy settles into the sand, then surges forward; palms blur into bands of green and shadow while the red earth of the Palmeraie rolls away. In two hours the route threads an oasis of date palms, skirts low jbilet hills and drops into small Berber villages where mint tea and flaky pancakes mark a human pause in the dust.
