Morocco Motorcycle Tour: New Year Anti-Atlas

Your Morocco motorcycle tour begins with your individual journey to Marrakech, where our driver meets you at the airport. After a welcome from the tour leader and collection of your motorcycle, a detailed briefing sets the stage for the first evening together.

On this guided Morocco motorcycle tour you leave Marrakech westward through the Anti-Atlas, past argan and olive trees, reaching the historic port city of Essaouira with its 18th-century fortified walls – approximately 240 kilometres.

The Atlantic coast ride follows the Highway of Maroc with spectacular sea views, before solitary singletracks descend into the valley of the Asif Tamrakht and continue to the Souss-Massa National Park – around 300 kilometres of riding enjoyment.

Through remote valleys, stone deserts and wadis this stage leads to the date palm oasis at 1,000 metres altitude, passing the colourfully painted granite rocks near the Berber town of Tafraoute – approximately 190 kilometres.

The ride through the Gorges d'Ait-Mansour is one of the highlights of every Sahara desert camp tour: rugged rock gorges alternate with open plains before you reach your overnight stop near the oasis town of Tata – around 250 kilometres.

At the motorcycle parking point you switch to 4x4 vehicles for the Chegaga dunes, reaching the luxury desert camp after driving across gravel fields and Dakar-style tracks, where a camel ride and New Year's celebrations await.

After sunrise in the desert this on-road Morocco motorcycle tour heads back to the bikes and on to Ouarzazate, situated between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas and known for its film studios – approximately 170 kilometres.

This stage is the ultimate test for any advanced motorcycle tour: following the caravan route past kasbahs, you reach the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 metres before descending into Marrakech – around 210 kilometres.

On this winter escape Morocco motorcycle tour you explore the souks, Djemaa el Fna and the vibrant old city on a German-speaking guided walk, before the evening concludes with an oriental dinner.

At the end of this Marrakech motorcycle tour you enjoy the final hours at the hotel before the shuttle transfers you to the airport – laden with many memories from this Morocco motorcycle tour, the New Year ride concludes happily.
