It’s an epic adventure that combines mythical routes, breathtaking landscapes, and Amazigh culture.
Crossing the natural barrier of the High Atlas via its vertiginous passes to descend towards the gates of the Sahara desert, passing through the pre-Saharan valleys and their famous Kasbahs.
The road of a thousand kasbahs, a succession of hairpin bends with spectacular views.
*Ouarzazate, “the gateway to the desert,” and its film studios
*The Dades Gorge: rock formations
*The Todra Gorge. A spectacular canyon where the road winds along the bottom of a canyon with walls 300 meters high. A legendary spot for motorcyclists. (Avoid the days and times of the week when it’s crowded.)
*Merzouga, at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes, a bivouac in the middle of the dunes, a magical experience
*The Drâa tracks, stony tracks that run along the old bed of the Drâa river, dotted with palm groves and fortified villages.
*Drâa Valley, a vast, linear palm grove
*Agdz – Tizi n’Tinfifite Pass. A stunning, winding road—much less traveled than the Tichka Pass—that crosses the Anti-Atlas Mountains
The Tizi n’Test Pass is more challenging and rugged than the Tichka Pass, offering breathtaking views of the northern slope
