Program

We will meet you upon your arrival at the airport.

Our driver will take you to your selected riad in Marrakech, where you will spend your first night.

Dinner will be served at your riad, as will breakfast the following morning before your departure.

At around 8:00/8:30 a.m., our driver will pick you up at the riad and drop you off at our base.

At 9:00 a.m., you will be at the departure point where your motorcycles will be ready to ride.

Our hostess will complete the final departure formalities with you and check your license and passport.

Coffee, tea, orange juice, and Moroccan pastries will be offered to you in our reception bar.

You can take advantage of this relaxing moment to get to know your guide and any other participants.

You will choose your helmet and gloves and get acquainted with your motorcycle, which will be ready and waiting for you.

All motorcycles are equipped with top cases for all your personal belongings needed for this motorcycle tour.

A 4x4 support vehicle will accompany you throughout the trip and transport your luggage.

Your guide will then give you safety instructions so that you can ride safely in Moroccan traffic.

And off we go for 4 days of riding and over 1,000 km... We will set off no later than 10 a.m.

This 4-day trip is a condensed version of the beautiful mountain roads of the Atlas Mountains by motorcycle and breathtaking landscapes.

You can visit Taroudant on foot with a guide on the morning of the second day and also the movie studios in Ouarzazate on the morning of the last day.

To start with, we will bypass Marrakech and you can admire the architecture of the Medina's ramparts.

We will ride through the popular and authentic neighborhoods of Marrakech before heading towards the Ourika road.

After a maximum of 30 minutes, we will be out of Marrakech and will start the road towards the Tizi N'test pass.

Your motorcycles are well suited for this long ride and are particularly comfortable for the rider and any passenger.

All the roads taken during this long road trip are very pleasant winding roads with magnificent mountain scenery.

Every lunchtime, a well-deserved break is organized in traditional Moroccan restaurants.

The hotels, riads, and guesthouses selected will always be chosen for their tranquility, luxury, and relaxation areas.

In the mornings, we will make a leisurely departure at 9 a.m. after a hearty Moroccan breakfast.

Day 1 - Marrakech/Ouarzazate - 224 km (via the village of Ait Ben Haddou)

Day 2 - Ouarzatate/Tinghir - 262 km (via the Dades Gorge and the Toudgha Gorge)

Day 3 - Tinghir/Bin El Ouidane - 263 km (via the Atlas roads)

Day 4 - Bin El Ouidane/Marrakech - 261 km (via the Ouzoud waterfalls)

Total: 1,000 km, or an average of 250 km/day

On the first day, we will travel to Ouarzazate via the Tichka Pass, with lunch in the mountains.

At the end of the afternoon, before arriving in Ouarzazate, we will pass through the village of Ait Ben Hadou (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

We will spend the first night in Ouarzazate at the guesthouse ‘Le Petit Riad’, which is often privatized for our exclusive use (maximum capacity 7 rooms).

Ouarzazate is famous for its film studios, where scenes from legendary films such as Gladiator, Asterix, and Mission: Impossible were shot.

The second day is magical, as you will travel through the stunning Dades and Toudgha Gorges.

In the morning before hitting the road, you will have the opportunity to visit the film studios. The tour lasts one hour, and you can participate in a short film in a gladiator arena.

This second day ends in Tinghir after a day of motorcycling through spectacular landscapes.

The next day, we head to Lake Bin El Ouidane via the small mountain roads of the High Atlas.

Lunch will be taken in a typical mountain inn (depending on availability in a rural area with very little tourism).

We will spend the third night facing Lake Bin El Ouidane.

On the last morning, you will have the opportunity to visit the Ouzoud waterfalls. The visit lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and is accompanied by a guide.

The return trip to Marrakech will take you along small roads that become less and less mountainous (you have to descend back down to the Marrakech plain...).

If you decide to visit the Ouzoud waterfalls, lunch will be a little more traditional, in a typical Moroccan village restaurant serving hearty meals.

During this road trip, all expenses are included: accommodation, meals, coffee breaks, snack breaks, gas—no surprises for your wallet.

The only expenses that are not included and will remain at your expense are alcoholic beverages.

Your guide, who is familiar with Moroccan roads, will adapt the speed of the group according to the riders' levels and traffic conditions.

On the last day, when you return to base, you can enjoy a farewell drink at our bar and start to regret the moment when you have to think about going home...

Our driver will then take you back to the riad reserved for you, where you will enjoy your last dinner.

The next day, our driver will take you back to the airport.

Our greatest satisfaction will be your smiles when we part with the promise to do it all again...
