The engine rumbles to life and the palms lean in as the buggy slips off the manicured access road into a sprawl of cracked earth and sunburned stone. Dust rises like a hint of challenge; the Palmeraie’s grid of date palms gives way to rocky wadis and narrow canyon ruts that demand focus and an appetite for speed.
