You push off from the makeshift track as late afternoon light melts gold into the dunes, the quad’s hum answering the hush of wind-sculpted sand. Tracks fork and rejoin across a landscape that can feel both empty and fiercely alive: rocky plateaus, scattered acacia, and distant ochre ridgelines that frame the Atlas foothills.
