Setti Fatma via Oukaimden
1 Day - 235 Km - (RM03)
Program
Meet at
9:00 am at our base (our address is available on Google - Rider-Maroc), your
bikes will be ready to go.
If you
don't have one, you'll choose your helmet and gloves, and get in touch with
your bike.
All bikes
are equipped with a Top Case for your personal belongings - don't forget your
sunglasses, you'll need them.
We'll have
a quick breakfast together in our bar, with tea, coffee, dried fruit and
pastries to get acquainted.
Your guide
will then give you all the instructions you need to drive safely in Moroccan
traffic.
And off we
go.... We'll be on the road by 10 a.m. at the latest.
This tour
covers all the different types of track available, so you'll have a great time
on the road and off-road without any real difficulties.
Of all our
1-day tours, this is the most 'fun' and complete (off-road, mountain, magical
meal, rural villages).
We'll ride
around Marrakech and enjoy the architecture of the Medina's ramparts.
We'll pass
through Marrakech's popular and authentic neighborhoods before heading for the
Ourika road.
After a
maximum of 30 minutes, we'll be out of Marrakech and on the Ourika road.
All our
rides have a 'father in the family' feel to them, so don't hesitate to ask for
photo breaks (or even a pee break...).
Your
motorcycles are adapted to Moroccan roads and are particularly comfortable for
the rider and any passenger.
In the
morning, on the way up to Oukaimden, you'll enjoy the magnificent scenery of
the Atlas mountain roads.
Your guide
will suggest an 18km off-piste forest trail, open to all, with no pitfalls.
On this
off-piste section, you'll ride through fir forests and enjoy sumptuous scenery.
Halfway
through this off-piste section, we'll stop in the middle of nowhere for a
home-made coffee brought by your guide.
Coffee in
the mountains is a magical moment, alone in the world in an extraordinary
setting.
The road
will quickly become winding, and you'll be able to enjoy your new motorcycles
in complete safety.
Your guide,
familiar with Moroccan roads, will adapt the speed of the group according to
the riders' skill levels and traffic conditions.
At around
12:30 p.m., lunch will be taken at Sitti Fatma on canapés “feet in the water”
along the Ourika river, a unique experience.
You can
enjoy traditional tajines, couscous or kebabs, and the meal is included in the
price of your tour, so... enjoy.
Eating by
the water at Setti Fatma is an exceptional and authentic experience that will
leave you with indelible memories.
On the way
back, you'll take part of the Ourika road, then fork right to take in more of
the Atlas foothills.
And for the
return journey, we guarantee an explosion of pleasure, with winding roads,
unpaved country lanes and mountain scenery.
For those
who have already ridden on the 'small' roads of Corsica, it will be the same
sensations...
You'll be
able to enjoy the many twists and turns of the roads we've selected for your
pleasure.
You'll have
no trouble getting through the 50 km of TT trails on the day, so all you need
to do is adjust your pace - your guide will take care of that.
That's what
motorcycling means to us .... To the right, to the left, to the right and back
again, always with crazy landscapes....
After a
little over 3 hours 30 of driving, you'll be back at our base, hopefully with
pictures in your eyes and a smile on your face.
At the
base, at our bar, you can enjoy a drink (non-alcoholic beverages), and start
recounting the best moments of this day of motorcycling.
We'll
arrange for a private driver to take you back to your accommodation
(preferential rate), and the day's motorcycle ride is over (we've got more in
the catalog...).

The ride - 235 km – Setti Fatma via Oukaimeden
Meet at 9 a.m. at our base and meet your guide.
A welcome snack will be waiting for you, including tea, coffee, orange juice, dried fruit, and cakes.
Full briefing with your guide, who will explain the safety instructions and specificities of driving in Morocco so that you can leave Marrakech with peace of mind.
Check of mandatory administrative documents (copies of passports and driver's licenses) and signing of rental and equipment insurance documents.
You will choose your helmet and gloves from those available and familiarize yourself with your motorcycles, which are waiting for you, ready to share these few days of road trip.
Departure no later than 10 a.m. for this day of motorcycle riding dedicated to fun and discovery.
We will ride along part of the ramparts of Marrakech and through working-class neighborhoods before leaving the city.
After about 30 minutes, we take the Tahanaout road towards the Tizi n'Test pass.
The first few kilometers of mountain climbing are a first immersion into the spectacular world of the Atlas Mountains, a winding road ideal for getting to grips with the motorcycles and enjoying the landscape to the full.
On leaving Tahanaout, we will turn left towards Oukaimden.
We will then take a small mountain road with no traffic and begin to truly enjoy the magnificent scenery.
Whatever your riding level and comfort, your guide, a true motorcycle professional who is perfectly accustomed to group riding, will adapt their speed to your pace.
After the first 5 kilometers of hairpin turns, your guide will suggest taking a 19-kilometer forest road to ride through nature at your own pace, alone in the world, enjoying magnificent landscapes in a wild setting.
Halfway along this route, we will stop for a coffee break in the mountains. Your guide will have brought a thermos of hot coffee in their top box, prepared at the base that morning.
Drinking coffee in the heart of nature, surrounded by magnificent scenery, will be a truly memorable moment.
After this break, we will return to the forest path to find the small mountain road towards Oukaimden.
We will leave the climb to Oukaimden on our right and descend for lunch in the river at Setti Fatma.
Eating on colorful sofas with your feet literally in the water is a curiosity that all tourists coming to Marrakech should experience at least once.
The menu includes tagine, grilled meats, or couscous.
After lunch, we headed back down to Marrakech, with another two hours of mountain roads and a final hour of flatter terrain to reach Marrakech and rejoin the city traffic.
We returned to base at around 6pm, marking the end of a day of motorcycling, fun, and camaraderie.
We shared a drink at the base bar to relive the highlights of the day.
Our greatest satisfaction: your smiles at the end of this little road trip
Private transfer to your riad or hotel if you have opted for private transportation.
For those who wish to extend the adventure, we can arrange additional nights in Marrakech or elsewhere, notably on the shores of Lake Lalla Takerkoust, at our friend Jean-Charles's place, Le Flouka, for a totally relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is also possible to organize a half-day cultural tour with an official guide to discover the most beautiful sites in Marrakech.
