A low sun throws long shadows across the Tifnit dunes as a row of quad bikes coughs to life. Salt wind from the Atlantic threads through the air, and the sand underfoot shifts like a moved elbow — sometimes pushing back, sometimes yielding. Riders peel away from Agadir or Taghazout in air-conditioned transfer, trading the city’s tiled streets for an expanse of bleached sand and coastal scrub.
