The engine thumps to life and the city’s heat thins behind you as the convoy winds out of Marrakech toward the dam road. Dust lifts in filigrees from the track; palms and scrub slide past in a staccato rhythm. After a 20-minute transfer you meet the guide, strap on a helmet and goggles, and head into a landscape that alternates between sandy tracks, rocky ridgelines and dry river crossings.
