The engine thumps to life and the Palmeraie opens like a moving map — rows of date palms give way to stubbled rock desert and dry riverbeds. Wind pushes at your visor; dust traces the track behind you. In three hours you trade the noise of Jemaa el-Fna for the steady, earthy rhythm of off-road tracks and a small Berber tea stop that feels like time paused.
