Motorcycle tour from Marrakech
The ideal starting point for a tailor-made motorcycle tour in Morocco
Choosing a motorcycle tour from Marrakech means opting for a strategic base in the heart of Morocco. Marrakech offers quick access to an incredible diversity of terrain: High Atlas, Middle Atlas, Anti-Atlas, pre-Saharan desert and Atlantic coast. In just a few kilometers, the scenery changes radically, offering bikers an exceptional playground, as varied as it is technical.
The bikes are rented directly in Marrakech, ready to go, maintained and adapted to local conditions. Departure depends on the week’s weather, your level and your riding preferences, to guarantee the best possible riding conditions.
A flexible, customizable motorcycle tour
From Marrakech, there are several possible directions. That’s one of the great advantages of this tour: there’s no fixed itinerary, and everything can be adapted to the season, the pace of the group and the type of terrain required.
Depending on conditions and your preferences, you can go :
- to the Atlantic coast (Essaouira, Agadir)
- to the High Atlas and its mythical passes
- to the Anti-Atlas, more mineral and wild
- to the greener, fresher Middle Atlas
The towns and regions accessible by motorcycle from Marrakech are numerous: Essaouira, Zagora, Ouarzazate, Imilchil, Errachidia, Taroudant, Tafraout, Agadir, with a clever mix of paved roads, rolling tracks and more technical sections.
The High Atlas: flying, altitude and wide open spaces
As soon as you leave Marrakech, the road rises rapidly. The High Atlas offers bikers miles of pleasure: high-altitude passes, tight bends, rocky tracks and spectacular panoramas.
Among the emblematic areas accessible on this tour:
- Wadaker Mountain and Rat Mountain, ideal for trail running
- the M’Goun massif, a demanding and wild terrain
- the Kasbah du M’Goun and the M’Goun gorges, perfect for alternating tracks and roads
- Imsfrane Cathedral, an impressive rock formation
- Lake Tislit, nestled at altitude
- the Aoujgal granary, a testimony to Berber architecture
Here, we often ride in a grip, standing on the footrests, with our eyes far ahead and the dust behind the rear wheel.
South and Anti-Atlas: mineral, oasis and raid feeling
Heading south, the circuit takes on a more rugged dimension. The landscapes become dry, open, sometimes lunar.
Depending on the route you choose, you may cross :
- Tata and surroundings
- the Amtoudi oasis, set between cliffs
- Tafraout, famous for its granite reliefs
- Tifoultoute Kasbah, near Ouarzazate
- Zagora and the desert gates
- There are also more confidential sites such as:
Jidr Gorge - Jbel Ayachi, Jbel Bou Iblane, Jbel Aneghmer
- Tizgui waterfall
- Lake Ifni, accessible by motorcycle depending on conditions
- Win Timdwin cave, a geological curiosity
Here, navigation, endurance and pace management take on their full importance.
Middle Atlas: lakes, forests and smooth rolling
As you move up towards the Middle Atlas, the scenery changes: cedar forests, open plateaus and high-altitude lakes. This region is ideal for a smoother ride, with a change of scenery.
Possible points of interest on the circuit :
- Aguelmame Sidi Ali, one of the Middle Atlas’ best-known lakes
- Aguelmame Aziza, more discreet and wild
- Aguelmame Al Marouani, in the Khénifra region
- Ifrane Zaouïa
- the areas around Khénifra, renowned for their rolling tracks
Grip is variable, and the fast tracks are perfect for mile after mile without monotony.
