The engine thumps to life after a cooling glass of mint tea in a low-slung Berber lounge, and the palms of Marrakech gesture like rows of watchful hands as quads peel away toward open sand. Riders move from shaded groves into the staccato rhythm of hard-packed tracks, crossing small Berber villages and finally the stony sweep of the Jbilets desert, where the Atlas Mountains hold the skyline like a distant ridge of guardians.
