An adventure between trails, ocean and mythical cities
The motorcycle tour from the desert to the Atlantic coast in Morocco is one of the most complete itineraries for bikers looking for diversity. It combines the pleasure of riding, the variety of terrain and the discovery of major Atlantic cities, all in the spirit of a motorcycle raid. Between inland, sandy tracks, coastal roads and fishing villages, this road trip offers an authentic and contrasting vision of Morocco.
Motorcycles are rented on site, perfectly adapted to long distances and local conditions, to guarantee comfort, reliability and freedom.
Contrary to popular belief, Morocco’s Atlantic coast is not just one long, straight road. The route alternates between rolling sections, sandy tracks, forested areas and panoramic roads along the ocean. This variety makes it a particularly popular route for motorcyclists.
The route passes through or alongside a number of emblematic towns and villages:
Agadir
A major gateway to the Atlantic, Agadir offers a mild climate and an excellent transition between desert and ocean. The region is renowned for its beaches, fish markets and marine cuisine.
Taghazout & Imesouane
Former fishing villages now famous for surfing, Taghazout and Imesouane have a relaxed atmosphere. The roads are ideal for smooth driving, with permanent ocean views.
Mirleft & Sidi Ifni
Further south, Mirleft and Sidi Ifni, an ancient fortified town with unique architecture, offer a wild and unspoilt setting. These towns are famous for their cliffs, beaches and specialties such as grilled fish and seafood tajines.
Essaouira
Nicknamed the Pearl of the Atlantic, Essaouira is a must-see stopover. Its port, its listed medina and its history make it a great cultural stopover, much appreciated during a motorcycle raid.
Safi & El Jadida (Mazagan)
Safi, renowned for its fishing and pottery, then El Jadida, with its Portuguese heritage and walled city, offer a different facet of Morocco’s Atlantic coastline.
Oualidia
A more confidential seaside resort, Oualidia is known for its calm lagoon and oyster beds. A more peaceful stopover, perfect for recuperating after several days on the bike.
Casablanca, Kenitra, Moulay Bousselham, Larache
Heading north, the route passes through Casablanca, then Kenitra and Moulay Bousselham, before reaching Larache. This section is reminiscent of the great African rallies, with long, rolling and varied stages.
Depending on the length of your stay, you can continue on to Assilah or Tangier, depending on the timing and level of your group.
Paradise Valley: a natural interlude for motorcyclists
Paradise Valley, near Agadir, is one of the most popular natural sites for motorcyclists. Nestled in the hinterland, this valley offers winding roads, rocky landscapes and natural basins, perfect for a break between two stages.
