Engines hum and a ribbon of dust rises as you leave Marrakech’s ochre walls behind, the city’s heat giving way to a cooler shade under rows of towering date palms. The Palmeraie stretches ahead — a patchwork of shaded tracks, sandy clearings and narrow irrigation channels — where a guide will fit your helmet and run through a quick safety brief before you throttle into the landscape.
