Marrakech - Ouarzazate

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 Atlas Mountains in a limited amount of time (two days is short...).

This short itinerary allows motorcyclists who wish to do so to travel to the city of Ouarzazate to spend the night.

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

The daily distances are balanced, with an average of about 150 miles per day, allowing you to fully enjoy the riding, the landscapes, and the stops along the way. 

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 – Ouarzazate

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 road trip itinerary.

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

followed by signing the rental and insurance documents.

Choice of helmets and gloves, and familiarization with the motorcycles.

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

Departure no later than 10:00 am. Gradual departure from Marrakech, along the road to Ouarzazate towards the Tizi n'Tichka pass.

Then we tackle the mountain road towards the pass, a winding, wide road that has been completely resurfaced in recent years, offering magnificent scenery. This is your first immersion in the Atlas Mountains and a chance to get acquainted with your new motorcycles.

Lunch will be at a typical Moroccan roadside restaurant at the Tichka Pass.

On the menu: a traditional tagine cooked over a wood fire.

In the afternoon, a spectacular descent to Ouarzazate awaits, still on a beautiful mountain road. We arrive in Ouarzazate around 5:30 pm.

We will spend the evening and night in a guesthouse chosen for its warm welcome and beautiful rooms. We'll settle into our friend Imad's riad, a small riad with 7 rooms, sometimes available for private use if the group is larger.

The day will end relaxing by the pool, or for the more adventurous, a visit to the city of Ouarzazate.

Aperitifs and dinner will be served on the terrace.

Ouarzazate - Marrakech

Around 8:30 a.m., breakfast in the sun on the terrace.

Around 9:30 a.m., we leave for Marrakech.

In Ouarzazate, it is possible to visit the movie studios where major productions have been filmed (Gladiator, Asterix, The Mummy, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Game of Thrones, etc.).

Then we will take the road to the UNESCO World Heritage village of Ait-Ben-Haddou.

At the end of the morning, the road is a magnificent mountain road, with many wide bends and much less traffic than the roads the day before.

Lunch on the national road coming from the Tichka Pass, which we join just below the pass.

After lunch, we will take the same road as the day before to descend towards Marrakesh.

Around 6 p.m., we will arrive at the Rider Maroc base in Marrakesh.

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.

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.
