Charge into the Palmeraie on an ATV and trade city streets for palm-lined tracks, dry riverbeds and rocky desert scenery. This guided half-day ride includes transfers, safety gear and a village stop for mint tea.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine cuts through morning air as the Palmeraie stretches out—rows of tall date palms leaning like old oars against a bright sky. You feel the quad respond beneath you, tires chewing sandy tracks that thread between cultivated palms, dry riverbeds (oueds) and stony, open desert. Guides steer the group along stretches where the grove gives way to low, rocky plateaus, and Berber villages appear as low clusters of ochre buildings on the horizon.
