MOTORCYCLE-TOURS · MOROCCO
Our motorcycle trip through Morocco is not named by chance: "In the Footsteps of the Alchemist" is inspired by the novel of the same name by Paulo Coelho, which describes the journey of a seeker: full of trials, magic, and self-discovery.
The Journey
This motorcycle trip through Morocco takes you over the High Atlas to the edge of the Sahara. Through passes, deserts, oases, and ancient caravan routes. Whether riding pleasure, culture, or the feeling of boundless freedom on two wheels: a motorcycle journey that perfectly combines adventure and authenticity.
The journey begins with your arrival at Marrakech-Menara Airport. After the transfer to the camp, you'll meet your team and your guides. Your motorcycle is already waiting for you.
In a relaxed atmosphere, we will prepare the equipment together and discuss the upcoming stages of our motorcycle trip through Morocco during the briefing. The first day is all about arriving: shedding the dust of Europe, absorbing the scent of spices, and experiencing the sounds of the city: the adventure begins.
After breakfast, our motorcycle trip begins southward, into the majestic mountain ranges of the High Atlas. The winding mountain roads take us over heights of more than 2,000 meters, past cedar forests, small mountain villages, and breathtaking panoramas.
In Taliouine, the saffron capital of Morocco, we set up our first camp. As the evening sun sets over the mountains, you enjoy the first real Moroccan moment: a mix of wonder, silence, and anticipation for tomorrow's off-road adventure.
Today the motorcycle journey begins with pure off-road fun. We leave the camp and cross the barren expanse south of Foum Zguid: an area film fans know from "James Bond 007 Spectre".
In the middle of nowhere, a mighty mesa rises, our destination for this day. On the way there, the terrain alternates between sand, stone, and dry wadis: perfect conditions for experienced riders. In the afternoon, we return to the camp, where the sunset and the crackling of the campfire remind us of the magic of Africa.
Early in the morning, we head southeast. The day takes us through the Iriki National Park with its dried-up salt lake Lac Iriki. The terrain changes constantly: hard tracks, flat plains, soft sand.
In the afternoon, the first dune fields of Erg Chegaga appear, one of the largest and most beautiful sand landscapes in Morocco. Here begins the most magical part of our motorcycle journey: we set up camp on the edge of the Sahara, the sun sinks behind the dunes, and the starry sky above us seems within reach.
From Zagora, the route initially leads over short asphalt sections before transitioning into the vast outback, the heart of our motorcycle journey through Morocco.
For two days, we traverse diverse terrain: deep sand, rocky passages, and endless plains stretching to the horizon. Along the way, we set up our camp in the wilderness, far away from roads and light.
The following day, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi appear on the horizon: a moment you won’t forget. Here, the largest dune field in Morocco rises up to 300 meters high, a landmark of every motorcycle journey through the Sahara.
Questions about the tour itinerary?
Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
After intense off-road days, today is free for your own design. Those who still have energy can ride the circuit around Jbel Bega: a challenging motorcycle tour along the Algerian border.
Alternatively, tranquility and relaxation beckon: a dune hike, tea with the Berbers, or a bath in the desert camp. No matter where you spend the day, the view of the Erg Chebbi dunes makes every moment an experience between freedom and silence.
Since the direct connection between Boumalne and N'Kob has now been paved, we have planned a circular route for today that takes us deep into the area of Jbel Saghro. Here, bizarre rock formations alternate with wide plains and gravel tracks. Pure off-road fascination.
We drive through small Berber villages and enjoy the expanse of the southern Atlas. In the afternoon, we reach N'Kob again, where a nomad camp awaits us. When the evening wind blows through the palms and the campfire crackles, you feel why motorcycle travel in Morocco is more than just a vacation.
After the last breakfast, it's time to say goodbye. The motorcycles are loaded, the equipment packed. With the last look over the rooftops of Marrakech, it becomes clear: Our motorcycle trip through Morocco ends here, but the unforgettable memories remain.
You have experienced deserts, mountains, oases, and people who show you what traveling truly means. Until the next adventure on two wheels. Thank you and goodbye, Morocco!
