Our journey begins in Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco.” After a short briefing and picking up your KTM 450 motorbike, we ride 75 km on paved roads until we reach our off-road track. We enjoy a quick coffee break and then head into the rougher terrain.
The route takes us uphill into the Atlas Mountains, where we encounter rocky trails and steep passes. Around midday, we enjoy a picnic lunch in the mountains.
In the afternoon, we descend into the Draa Valley, known for its breathtaking canyon landscapes and ancient kasbahs (fortified villages). The ride is beautiful and challenging, ending in the desert town of Zagora where we rest for the night.
Today’s ride is long but exciting. We head to Tafraout Sidi Ali, a small desert village surrounded by beautiful landscapes. We continue the ride to Ramlia, crossing dry riverbeds and remote tracks.
After lunch, we ride to Ouzina, a peaceful desert village far from the tourist paths. This part of the tour allows you to connect with the local Berber culture. You will enjoy quiet moments in the desert, away from the noise of the cities.
Later, we ride to Merzouga, the gateway to the famous Erg Chebbi dunes. After checking in at our desert accommodation, we visit Taous and go for a short walk before returning to Merzouga for dinner and rest.
You will depart Merzouga after breakfast and travel 215 kilometers to Tinghir. The day’s excursion will take you through the breathtaking scenery of southern Morocco. You’ll pass via Rissani, a medieval town famous for its traditional markets and ancient ruins. You may tour the ruins of the old city of Sijilmassa and learn about the region’s history and culture by visiting the local souks.
You’ll then bike to Alnif, a little village known for its vibrant traditional mud-brick architecture. Take a break by visiting the local markets, meeting friendly locals, and learning about traditional Berber culture.
Finally, you will arrive at Todra Gorge, a spectacular gorge carved by the Todra River. You may walk along the riverbank, marvel at the sheer rock walls, and unwind in the tranquil atmosphere of this natural wonder. Spend the night in Tineghir.
On the final day of your Ouarzazate motorcycle tour, you’ll return to Ouarzazate by retracing your ways through the Rose Valley and the Atlas Mountains. As you ride back to Ouarzazate, you’ll have the opportunity to visit additional cultural sites, meet friendly locals, and take in the changing landscapes. When you return to your starting point, you’ll bid farewell to your tour guide and fellow riders, putting your 4-day guided motorcycling tour to a close.
