Late afternoon light slants across stone and dust as the minivan drops you at the ragged edge of the Agafay Desert. The wind has a voice here—gritty and insistent—pushing loose sand into small ridges while the horizon holds the High Atlas like a distant promise. You mount a shared quad and the desert answers with open ground and sudden berms; engines rumble, tires dig, and the landscape seems to dare you forward.
