Motorcycle Adventure Morocco – 6 Days of Unforgettable Experience
Morocco offers fantastic motorcycle adventures that are closer than they might seem at first glance. Why is it so intense? Because we don’t ride our motorcycles to Morocco—instead, we fly to Africa, where rental motorcycles are waiting for us. In today’s busy world, it’s hard to find time for a long motorcycle adventure!
After landing in Marrakech, we take an afternoon to acclimate, and the very next morning, we set off southward through the High Atlas Mountains to the Sahara. The route follows asphalt roads in good condition, and we stay in hotels and riads—safe, relaxing, and unforgettable. The food is excellent and safe.
Who Can Join?
This event or experience is designed for all motorcyclists, including solo riders and couples on motorcycles. The rental motorcycle options include adventure touring bikes ranging from 700cc to 1300cc (Yamaha Tenere 700, BMW F 750/850 GS, Honda Africa Twin 1100, and BMW R 1250 GS). All bikes can be equipped with side cases and a top case.
The route is moderately challenging, following easy roads. However, we ride all day, with scheduled breaks and lunch. Complete beginners might prefer a different concept—one focused on shorter daily distances with lower-displacement motorcycles. For more information, contact us via email at Motoavantura.

As we gain elevation, the Mediterranean vegetation transforms into mountain landscapes. Pine trees and argan shrubs replace palm trees and eucalyptus. At 2,260 meters above sea level, we are surrounded by majestic peaks. Our first stop is at the legendary Tizi n’Tichka Pass.
Descending towards the Sahara, we pass through Ouarzazate, the city of films, where movie sets from Gladiator and Troy still stand. The highlight of the day is riding through breathtaking canyon roads along the Draa Valley. We arrive in the Oasis of a Thousand Palms, where we stay in a magnificent kasbah.
📍Day 2: Agdz – Alnif – Merzouga (295 km)
➡️ We follow the original Dakar Rally route, experiencing what it was like for motorsport legends. The asphalt road winds through canyons and oases, eventually leading to vast desert plains.
Midday lunch stop in Alnif, then we continue towards Rissani. Just before reaching Merzouga, we visit Gara Medouar, a massive crater featured in James Bond: Spectre. Late afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, where we see Morocco’s largest sand dunes and take a sunset walk on the dunes.
