The Palmeraie spreads out like an ordered spill of palms on the edge of Marrakech — a green fringe where engines and wind meet. You’ll start at a shaded camp, helmets clicked, goggles down, and the instructor briefing the line of quads. The first push of throttle sends sand and sun together; grooved tracks hum beneath your tires and the palm canopy slides by in staccato shadow.
