More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine kicks and the dusty plateau opens before you: low scrub, stony ruts and a bright sheet of water that hunches against the horizon. At Lalla Takerkoust, just outside Marrakech, quad bikes carve tracks across the Kik plateau with the lake’s surface daring you to push a little harder. Birdsong punctuates the revs; wind pushes against your face as the valley widens.
