Morning light slices between towering date palms as engines rumble and dune dust lifts—this is the Palmeraie outside Marrakech, where a half-day ATV ride turns an oasis into a playground. Riders meet guides near the edge of town, transfer in air-conditioned comfort, then step into a landscape of packed sand tracks, irrigated channels and long rows of palms that give way to open scrub and low dunes.
