The sun drops behind low, rocky plateaus and the Agafay plain turns the color of warm steel. You feel the engine under your palms as the quad lifts slightly over hummocked terrain, then slow to the amble of camels silhouetted against the horizon. By nightfall a desert camp lights up with tea steam and the rhythm of live percussion; a fire show arcs sparks into the cool, Toussaint-scented air.
