Riding through Moroccan history
Morocco’s imperial cities were all capitals of the kingdom at different times. They boast a unique wealth of architectural, cultural and culinary treasures, ideal for exploring by motorcycle.
Marrakech
Ochre city and iconic departure point, Marrakech combines rolling roads, quick access to the slopes and a vibrant atmosphere. After a day’s riding, the medina, hammams and traditional tables offer the perfect recuperation.
Fès
Considered the spiritual and intellectual heart of Morocco, Fès impresses with its historic medina and craftsmanship. Arriving by motorcycle on the roads of the Middle Atlas is a real thrill, with flowing sequences and wooded landscapes.
Meknes
More discreet but just as steeped in history, Meknes seduces visitors with its calm, ramparts and authentic atmosphere. An ideal place to take a breather after several kilometers on the trail.
Rabat
Rabat’s administrative capital offers an interesting contrast between modernity and historical heritage. The roads leading to it offer a variety of pleasures, from fast sections to more technical ones.
Tétouan
At the gateway to the Rif, Tétouan has a strong Andalusian identity. The motorcycle access roads are particularly popular for their relief and panoramic views.
Motorcycle trails to keep the raid spirit alive
Even on a cultural circuit, driving remains at the heart of the experience. Between the imperial cities, the morocco-rides.com teams select little-traveled trails, secondary roads and rolling routes that allow you to keep the pleasure of light off-road or trail riding.
We cross in particular :
- Middle Atlas (Azrou, Ifrane, Khénifra)
- areas with natural springs and mineral waters such as Moulay Yacoub and Sidi Hrazem
- wilder areas around Midelt, Imilchil or abandoned mines
- high plateaus where dust, fast tracks and wide open spaces recall the spirit of the raid
The grip changes, the terrain evolves, but the pleasure remains constant.
