The engines wake the palm grove into motion as you peel away from Marrakech and into the Palmeraie — an unexpected sea of date palms where dust tracks thread between clumps of green. Wind pushes at your helmet; the palms sway like patient spectators while the Atlas Mountains watch from the horizon. The ride moves between open sandy flats, rock-strewn alleys, and narrow trails that wind past low Berber homes.
