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 a.m., you will be at the departure base 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 moment of relaxation to get to know your guide and any other participants.

You will choose your helmet and gloves, and you will 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 then you're off for 4 days of riding and nearly 940 km.... We will hit the road no later than 10 a.m.

This 4-day ride 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 film studios in Ouarzazate on the morning of the last day.

To begin with, we will bypass Marrakech, allowing you to appreciate the architecture of the Medina's ramparts.

We will ride through the authentic, working-class neighborhoods of Marrakech before heading towards the road to Ourika.

After a maximum of 30 minutes, we will have left Marrakech behind and will begin the journey towards the Tizi N'test pass.

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

All the roads taken during this long road trip are winding and very pleasant, 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.

Mornings start off gently at 9 a.m. after a hearty Moroccan breakfast.

Day 1 - Marrakech/Taroudant - 241 km (via the Tizi N'Test pass)

Day 2 - Taroudant/Tissint - 268 km (via the mountain roads of the Anti-Atlas)

Day 3 - Tisint/Ouarzazate - 220 km (via the Atlas roads)

Day 4 - Ouarzazate/Marrakech - 212 km (via the Atlas roads)

Total: 940 km, or an average of 235 km/day

On the first day, we will reach Taroudant via the Tizi N'Test Pass (2,100 m), with lunch at the pass.

The first night will be at Riad le Jasmin in Taroudant, a green oasis 5 km from Taroudant with a magnificent swimming pool.

In Taroudant, the pool is available for your use all evening and even all night long....

The second day is magical, as you will travel through landscapes on the way to Tata that are reminiscent of the American West and absolutely enchanting.

We will leave a little earlier than usual (at 8:30 a.m. to quickly visit the Kasbah of Taroudant on foot), and the tour with a private guide will last one hour.

This second day ends in Tissint at the Kasbah Tissint, a warm and welcoming guesthouse.

Enjoy an evening of authentic Moroccan atmosphere far from the tourist trails with traditional tagines and grilled meats.

The next day, we will head to Ouarzazate via the small mountain roads of the High Atlas.

Lunch will be taken in a typical mountain inn (depending on availability in a rural environment with very few tourists).

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

The third night will be spent in Ouarzazate, a city famous for its film studios where scenes from legendary films (Gladiator, Asterix, Mission Impossible, etc.) were shot.

On the last morning, 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.

The return trip to Marrakech will take us along small mountain roads through the village of Ait Ben Haddou (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

The last stretch of mountain road is a little busier, and we will encounter many other motorcyclists.

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 group's speed to the riders' skill levels and traffic conditions.

On the last day, when we return to base, you can enjoy a farewell drink at our bar and start to regret that it's time to go home...

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

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

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