More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick up dust at first light as the Palmeraie opens ahead: a flat sea of date palms and sandy tracks, sunlight slicing between trunks while a guide points the safest line through the grove. The machines hum; the air smells faintly of earth and mint from distant tea kettles. Photo stops let you step out and feel how wind threads through the palms, and a brief tea break folds local ritual into the ride.
