Marrakech - Bergerie - Marakech

This two-day road trip is an introduction to Morocco's mountain roads, immersing you in the country's beautiful mountain landscapes. It is specially designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and lovers of wide open spaces.

It is a discovery road trip by motorcycle, designed for riders who want to explore the roads of the Atlas Mountains in a limited amount of time (two days is short...).

This itinerary crosses the Agafay Desert and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

The contrasts are constant and spectacular: mountains, desert, canyons, and palm groves.

RM200 stands out for two major highlights:

• A meal on the first day at a sheep farm at an altitude of 2,100 m, opened especially for us, and a meal on the second day with our feet in the water in the Ourika River.

• The night of the road trip at the Flouka, a charming little hotel on the shores of Lake Lalla Takerkoust.

The daily distances are balanced, with an average of around 240 km per day, allowing you to fully enjoy the riding, the landscapes, and the stops along the way.

Although this 2-day trip allows you to see and ride through magnificent mountain landscapes, it is never more than 80 km from Marrakech.

This road trip does not require a support 4x4. In the event of a mechanical problem, it will always be very easy to call on our breakdown team or even have a replacement motorcycle brought to you.

All our road trips and motorcycle tours are offered on an all-inclusive basis.

With the exception of alcoholic beverages in the evening at each stop, you will have absolutely nothing to spend during your stay.

All your overnight stays are booked in single rooms for maximum comfort.

And if you snore at night, no problem... you won't disturb anyone!

The organization includes full logistical assistance, luggage transport, and permanent technical support for your motorcycle.

Accommodations are carefully selected for their quality, comfort, and authenticity.

You will benefit from professional guidance throughout your stay, with carefully planned and secure itineraries, and premium service from start to finish.

Groups are deliberately limited in size to guarantee an exclusive experience, tailored to your level. 

Personalized welcome at the airport exit.

Private transfer to your carefully selected riad.

Settle in and relax by the pool.

Dinner is served at the riad.

First night in Marrakech.

Marrakech – Lake Lalla Takerkoust (via Bergerie)

First morning in Marrakech and a hearty breakfast at the riad.

Around 8:40 am, our private driver will pick you up directly from the riad and take you to the Rider Maroc base.

At 9:00 am, arrival at the base and welcome by your guide.

A welcome snack awaits you: tea, coffee, orange juice, dried fruit, and pastries.

A complete briefing with your guide: safety instructions, specifics of driving in Morocco, and the itinerary of the road trip.

Checking of mandatory administrative documents (copies of passports and driver's licenses),

then signing of the rental and insurance documents.

Choice of helmets and gloves, familiarization with the motorcycles.

The 4x4 support vehicle will take charge of your luggage and set off ahead.

Departure no later than 10:00 am. Gradual departure from Marrakech, along the Amizmiz road towards the Agafay Desert.

We'll skirt the Agafay Desert, then cross it.

The Agafay Desert is a rocky desert, a popular tourist destination for visitors to Marrakech.

Then we'll head into the mountains towards La Bergerie, a winding road with breathtaking scenery, our first taste of the Atlas Mountains, and a chance to get acquainted with your new motorcycles.

Lunch will be at our friend Ali's place in La Bergerie (2,100 m), an authentic sheepfold often opened just for us, allowing us to enjoy lunch in a truly authentic setting.

In the afternoon, we'll descend spectacularly towards Lake Lalla Takerkoust, crossing through cedar forests.

 We'll arrive at Le Flouka around 5:30 pm. 

We'll settle in at Le Flouka with our friend Jean Charles, an oasis of tranquility with two magnificent swimming pools, one of which is heated year-round.

Enjoy free time by the lake, followed by an aperitif, dinner, and an overnight stay at Le Flouka.

Lake Lalla Takerkoust – Setti Fatma – Marrakech

Around 8:30 a.m., breakfast in the sun on the terrace of Le Flouka, facing the lake and the Atlas Mountains.

Around 9:30 a.m., we leave for Setti Fatma.

Magnificent climb with increasingly tight hairpin bends towards Moulay Brahim with a view of the Agafay desert and Lake Lalla Takerkoust.

Crossing the Kik plateau, a long straight line on a desert plateau with the Atlas Mountains (snow-capped in winter) in the background, then descent towards Asni.

On the climb to Oukaimden, we take a forest road for 19 km off-road.

Coffee in the middle of the road (the guide has brought a thermos on his motorbike), alone in the world with sumptuous mountain and valley landscapes.

We descend towards Setti Fatma where we will have lunch by the Ourika River, sitting on sofas with our feet in the water.

It's a classic tourist attraction, but so original that it's not to be missed.

On the menu: tagines, grilled meats, or couscous.

After lunch, we return to Marrakech via the mountains.

We'll be back at base around 6 p.m.

We return the motorcycles, then have a final drink together at the base bar, a convivial moment to share our last memories, recount the latest anecdotes from the road trip, exchange photos and stories, and bring this adventure to a close in a warm atmosphere.

Private transfer to your riad (your luggage will have been delivered during the day).

Dinner and last night in Marrakech. 

Depending on your flight schedule, our private driver will pick you up at the riad 2.5 hours before your flight departure.

As the days go by, our private driver will accompany you, transport you, and chat with you, and you will almost feel like you are saying goodbye to a friend when it is time to part ways.

Our greatest satisfaction comes from your smiles, your enthusiastic feedback, and the moments we share throughout your stay.

If your flight is late, you can leave your luggage at the riad and enjoy Marrakech, its souks, and its terraces one last time.

To extend the experience, we can also organize:

additional nights in Marrakech,

or a stay at Lake Lalla Takerkoust, at our friend Jean-Charles's place in Flouka, a peaceful spot far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Finally, for those who wish, it is possible to organize a complete cultural tour with an official guide:

Jemaa el-Fna Square, Ben Youssef Madrasa, Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, traditional souks, Majorelle Gardens.
