New Year on a motorcycle between Atlas and Sahara

This guided motorcycle tour between kasbahs and small hotels is the perfect winter escape: mild temperatures in the south, ideal for enduro riding over the turn of the year. Following in the footsteps of the caravans, it goes through the High Atlas to the Sahara.

From Málaga, you take the ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar and ride through the dunes of Erg Chebbi, past oases, kasbahs and Berber villages. Between mountain passes over 2,000 m and vast Hamada deserts, this New Year's motorcycle tour through Morocco becomes an intense off-road experience for experienced riders.

Highlights

New Year's Eve in desert

You don't celebrate the turn of the year at home, but between the dunes: New Year's Eve in the desert, under the starry sky of the Sahara. Those who seek Morocco over New Year's experience it far away from cold and commotion.

Start from Málaga & ferry

This motorcycle trip starts in Málaga: on the second day you cross the Strait of Gibraltar by ferry, the start of two weeks of enduro riding between Europe and Africa, across southern Spain and Morocco.

Dunes of Erg Chebbi

Erg Chebbi is the second largest dune area in Morocco, with sand dunes up to 150 m high. Riders who love off-roading in deep sand will find the technical challenge of this tour right here.

Kasbahs & the blue city

From the blue city of Chefchaouen to the royal city of Fès and the kasbahs in the south, this route connects off-road stages with culture, medinas and traditional Moroccan architecture.

Film sets in Ouarzazate

In Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of the desert, the enduro route passes locations from Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. Film sets and riding fun meet on a single stage of this motorcycle tour.
