You kick the engine and the Palmeraie answers: a palm grove that leans and sighs under a North African sun, interlaced with sandy tracks that dare you to pick a line. The trail moves from shaded alleys between date palms into open plains where low dunes roll like curled pages of ochre and the scent of dust mixes with mint from roadside tea stalls.
