A ribbon of dust rises as quads peel away from the meeting point and the Atlas Mountains watch from a distance — the Agafay’s rocky moonscape opens immediately, sharp and honest. Riders feel the engine’s thrum translate into forward motion across stony ridges, dry riverbeds and dune-shaped hills that catch late light like a copper skin.
