Dust rises in warm ribbons as quads cut through the palm fringes outside Marrakech, tires chewing at the sunbaked tracks that lead toward the stony plateaus of the Agafay and Borrous deserts. Riders start among groves—palm trunks ticking in the breeze—then climb shale ridges where the Atlas range pins the horizon like a distant spine.
