Tour Marrocos 2027 — Atlas & Sahara
You fly. Your bike is waiting in Marrakech. Eight days across the High Atlas, mud-brick kasbahs, red-rock gorges and two nights in the Sahara dunes — on the old Dakar tracks.
- 8days, 7 nights
- ≈ 1,200km of Atlas and desert
- 2nights in the Sahara dunes
- 10riders per group
Fly & Ride
It’s not about selling miles. It’s about living Morocco on a bike.
An expedition you look at and think: “I need to live this at least once.” Mountains, desert, Berber culture and the right group — with a local guide who knows every track.
No shipping your bike to another continent: you land, get a big trail bike set up for the route and ride. The pace is built for enjoying, taking photos and exploring — not racing.
Who it’s for
- Comfortable on mountain roads and several days in a row on the bike
- Intermediate level: about 85–90% tarmac and 10–15% dirt tracks
- Dirt and sand sections adapted to the group and the size of the bikes
- Valid passport and motorcycle license (an International Driving Permit is recommended)
- Pillions are possible on a more road-focused version — let us know in the form
Day by day
Eight days, from the Atlas to the Sahara
Start and finish in Marrakech. Usually 150 to 220 km per riding day, with time for stops, photos and visits. The final route may change with weather, roads and the group.
- Day1
Marrakech
Arrival in Morocco
Arrive in Marrakech, check in at the hotel or riad and rest. In the evening the group meets for the first time — this is where the expedition mood begins.
- Day2
Marrakech
Culture and bike prep
Part of the day with a local guide through the medina and souks: craftsmen, culture and food. Then it’s time to meet the bikes.
- Bike presentation and handover
- Trip briefing and route walkthrough
- Luggage setup
- Day3
Marrakech → High Atlas → Aït Ben Haddou → Dades
The adventure begins
Crossing the High Atlas over the Tizi n’Tichka pass: panoramic roads, earthen villages and the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Ben Haddou. The day ends in the Dades Valley.
- Day4
Dades → Todra → Merzouga
Into the Sahara
The Dades bends, the limestone walls of the Todra Gorge and a landscape that keeps opening up until the Erg Chebbi dunes. Sunset over the dunes and the first night in the desert.
- Day5
Merzouga · Erg Chebbi
Dakar & Sahara Experience
The day that makes this expedition unique. With people who know the desert inside out, the group rides Sahara terrain and scenery — always matched to the group’s level and the size of the bikes. Not difficulty for its own sake: fun, safe, unforgettable big trail adventure.
- Old Dakar Rally tracks
- Hamada, fast tracks and dry riverbeds
- Sand dosed right for big trail bikes
- Khamlia, local culture and a tea break
- Remote areas and the Erg Chebbi dunes
- Day6
Merzouga → Rissani → Alnif → N’Kob → Zagora
The deep south
We leave the big dunes behind and cross southern Morocco on hand-picked adventure roads and tracks, all the way to Zagora and the Draa Valley.
- Day7
Zagora → Draa Valley → Ouarzazate → High Atlas → Marrakech
The last big day
Kasbahs, palm groves, Ouarzazate and the ride back over the Atlas to Marrakech. Bike handback and the group’s last night in the city.
- Day8
Marrakech
Departure
Breakfast and off to the airport according to your flights. You fly home with the Sahara in your memory — and probably sand in your boots.
