Motorcycle road trip – Atlas Mountains & Atlantic coast

This ride is our boss Fabrice’s favorite.

It offers a stunning combination of spectacular landscapes, mixing winding roads through the Anti-Atlas Mountains with breathtaking panoramas along the Atlantic coastline.

All our motorcycle road trips and stays are offered as all-inclusive experiences.

With the exception of alcoholic drinks in the evenings at the overnight stops, you will have absolutely nothing to spend during your stay.

All overnight accommodations are provided in single rooms, ensuring maximum comfort and complete privacy — if you snore at night, you won’t disturb anyone.

The organization includes full logistical support, luggage transport, and continuous motorcycle technical assistance.

Accommodation is carefully selected for its quality and comfort.

You benefit from professional guidance throughout the entire trip, with well-planned and safe routes, and a premium service from start to finish.

Groups are deliberately kept small to guarantee a high-quality experience, tailored to your riding level.

Personalized welcome at the airport exit.

A private transfer will take you directly to a carefully selected riad.

Check-in and first moments of relaxation by the pool.

Dinner is served at the riad before your first night in Morocco.

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

Around 8:40 a.m., our private driver will pick you up at the riad and take you to the Rider Maroc base.

At 9:00 a.m., arrival at the base and introduction to your guide.

A welcome refreshment awaits you: tea, coffee, orange juice, dried fruits and pastries.

A full briefing with your guide follows, including safety instructions and specific advice on riding in Moroccan traffic to leave Marrakech safely and smoothly.

Administrative checks (passport and driving license copies) and signing of rental and insurance documents.

You will then choose your helmet and gloves provided, and get acquainted with your motorcycle, ready to share the coming days of adventure.

The assistance 4x4 vehicle takes care of your luggage and departs ahead of the group.

Departure no later than 10:00 a.m. for this motorcycle road trip focused on pleasure and discovery.

We ride along part of the Marrakech city walls and through traditional neighborhoods before leaving the city.

After approximately 30 minutes, we take the road towards Tahanaout and the Tizi n’Test Pass.

The climb to the pass is a first immersion into the spectacular Atlas landscapes, following a winding mountain road ideal for getting comfortable with the bikes.

At the Tizi n’Test Pass, at 2,100 meters altitude, we are expected for lunch and enjoy our first tagine at the restaurant of our friend Mustapha.

The afternoon ride is more relaxed, descending towards Taroudant.

From the top of the pass, the view over the Souss Valley, between the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, is simply breathtaking.

Arrival in Taroudant around 5:30 p.m., check-in at Riad Le Jasmin, followed by time to relax by the pool.

Aperitif, dinner at the riad and a well-earned night’s rest after this first day of mountain roads and spectacular scenery.

Wake-up at 8:00 a.m. and departure at 8:45 a.m. for Taroudant city center.

After a short drive, our local guide Ahmed welcomes us for a horse-drawn carriage tour of the city, lasting approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Around 10:30 a.m., tea break in Taroudant, then departure towards Taghazout via the Anti-Atlas.

After about one hour of linking roads, we reach the foothills of the Anti-Atlas.

The assistance 4x4, which left earlier, awaits us at a strategic mountain viewpoint.

Here, a five-star picnic is prepared by the chef of Riad Le Jasmin.

Cold drinks are available, as well as beers for those who wish (to be enjoyed responsibly).

After this break in the heart of nature, we continue our ride across the Anti-Atlas towards the Atlantic coast.

The afternoon consists of around four hours of small, quiet mountain roads, with very little traffic.

The scenery is exceptional: canyons reminiscent of the American West Coast, palm groves, the Moulay Abdellah dam, and finally the arrival at the ocean.

At the exit of a bend, the sea suddenly appears — a truly magical moment.

We stop on a cliff-top parking area for a coffee from a typical Moroccan “coffee van”.

We then enjoy around 60 km of coastal road, with a stop to watch the surfers if the waves are good.

Ride through Taghazout, a former fishing village that has become an iconic surfing destination in Morocco, with its relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Arrival around 5:30 p.m. at Le Jardin de l’Océan, the guesthouse of our friend André.

Aperitif and dinner facing the ocean, in a warm and convivial atmosphere, with a memorable sunset.

Dinner is a generous barbecue prepared by the chef, with the menu chosen together the day before.

Overnight in ocean-facing rooms, lulled by the sound of the waves if you choose to sleep with the windows open.

Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. on the ocean-facing terrace, watching the surfers already in the water.

Departure around 9:30 a.m. towards Paradise Valley.

Another crossing of the Anti-Atlas, then lunch around 12:30 p.m. at Hassan’s: tagines, grilled meats or couscous (chosen together the day before).

After lunch, ride back towards Marrakech.

After approximately one hour, we reach the Agafay Desert, which we skirt before returning to Marrakech and the base.

Arrival at the base around 6:00 p.m., marking the end of three days of motorcycling, pleasure and shared moments.

A final drink together at the base bar to relive the highlights of the road trip.

Private transfer to your riad for your final night in Marrakech.

Diner and over night at the Riad.

Our private driver will pick you up at the riad 2 hours and 30 minutes before your flight, regardless of departure time, and take you to Marrakech airport (you will probably end up becoming friends with him after so many transfers).

Our greatest reward: your smiles at the end of the road trip.

If your flight departs late, you may leave your luggage at the riad and enjoy a final walk through Marrakech.

For those wishing to extend their stay, we can organize additional nights in Marrakech or elsewhere, including a relaxing stay by Lake Lalla Takerkoust, at La Flouka, hosted by our friend Jean-Charles, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

A half-day cultural tour with an official guide can also be arranged for those wishing to end their stay with a more cultural experience.
