You feel the engine push and the desert exhales around you — dust blooms off the tyres as the 4x4 bites into a stony track beyond Marrakech's palms. The city’s ochre walls fall away and the landscape opens: short, stunted scrub, broad dry riverbeds, and the distant serrated silhouette of the High Atlas watching every turn.
