RIDE
DETAILS
DAY 01
Marrakech to Bin El Ouidane
The journey begins with a briefing and bike preparation in Marrakech before heading northeast into the foothills of the High Atlas. The road quickly escapes the city, flowing through olive groves, farmland, and traditional Berber villages. Mountain scenery builds steadily as you approach the stunning lake at Bin El Ouidane. The day ends with a relaxed lakeside overnight surrounded by dramatic mountain views.
DAY 02
Bin El Ouidane to Azrou
Leaving the lake behind, the route climbs deeper into the Middle Atlas. The landscape shifts to rolling hills and forested mountain roads, offering cool air and smooth riding. Cedar forests signal your arrival near Azrou, a peaceful mountain town known for its alpine feel and traditional character. The evening is spent unwinding in a comfortable mountain hotel.
DAY 03
Azrou to Errachidia
A long and rewarding riding day that showcases Morocco’s dramatic transitions. You descend from the Middle Atlas into wide open plateaus, where the terrain becomes increasingly arid and expansive. Quiet roads, big skies, and remote towns define the journey. The day ends in Errachidia, the gateway to the Sahara and the Ziz Valley.
DAY 04
Errachidia to Merzouga (Sahara Desert)
The desert begins to reveal itself as the route follows the palm-lined Ziz Valley. Kasbahs and oases line the road as sand tones gradually replace green. By late afternoon, the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise from the horizon as you arrive in Merzouga. Sunset over the Sahara is a defining moment of the tour.
DAY 05
Merzouga to Dadès Gorges
Leaving the dunes behind, the ride cuts west across vast desert plains before climbing into rugged mountain terrain. Red rock formations grow taller and more dramatic as the road winds toward the Dadès Gorges. The day ends in one of Morocco’s most striking landscapes, with towering canyon walls and sinuous mountain roads.
DAY 06
Dadès Gorges to Aït Benhaddou
Today’s ride follows classic southern Morocco routes through desert valleys and historic kasbah country. The scenery feels cinematic, with mud-brick villages and wide open spaces. The day finishes at Aït Benhaddou, Morocco’s most famous kasbah and a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering time to explore this ancient fortress on foot.
DAY 07
Aït Benhaddou to Marrakech
The final riding day delivers one of Morocco’s most iconic routes. Climbing into the High Atlas, the road winds over the Tizi n’Tichka Pass with sweeping views and flowing curves. Gradually descending toward the plains, the landscape shifts once more before arriving back in Marrakech. The tour concludes with a final group dinner celebrating an unforgettable Atlas-to-Sahara journey.
