Marrakech: The Epicenter of Motorcycle Adventure in Morocco with Morocco-Rides.com

Points of interest in Marrakech :

The Secret Gardens of the Medina

Médersa Ben Youssef: Although well known, it is often forgotten by the souks. This is one of the most beautiful Koranic schools in the Maghreb. Its inner courtyard and architecture are breathtaking. Park further away and walk the rest of the way.

The Marrakech Museum

Next to the Médersa, this restored palace houses contemporary exhibitions. Its patio is a haven of peace.

Marrakech’s Potters’ Quarter (El Horra)

North of the medina (Bab el Khemis). Watch craftsmen at work on their traditional lathes and buy unique pieces direct from the workshop. The atmosphere here is much more local.

La Palmeraie

the real thing, not the luxury clubs, surprising landscapes of greenery and silence, just 20 minutes from the medina.

The Agafay Desert: Just 40 km south of Marrakech. This rocky plateau offers a lunar desert landscape, with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. Many camps here organize sunset dinners.

Les Villages de l’Atlas: push on to Tahanaout and Ouirgane in the Ourika valley. The motorcycle route up into the High Atlas is magnificent (the R203). Here you’ll find a radically different mountain atmosphere, with waterfalls and authentic guesthouses.

The Anima Garden is well worth a visit, with its original, artistic layout.


Much more than a destination, Marrakech is a sensation: the scent of spices in the air, the ochre-red walls, the bewitching hustle and bustle of Jemaa el-Fna Square… Here, adventure doesn’t begin when you leave the city; it’s already here, palpable, as soon as you arrive. Renting a motorcycle from Morocco-Rides.com in Marrakech transforms this feeling into an unforgettable epic, where absolute freedom meets North Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.

Marrakech is the classic departure point for the High Atlas and the desert.

Our base is your starting point: we hand over your motorcycle – a sturdy, reliable trail bike – directly to you in Marrakech. Your adventure begins at our door.

The royal gateway to diversity: from the ochre city, you’re already in the foothills of the High Atlas in less than an hour. No other city offers such direct access to such a variety of landscapes.

The energy of contrast: there’s nothing quite like the feeling of returning from a day’s raid with your head full of images of mountains and desert, only to lose yourself in the lively alleys of the medina and share the day’s stories over a cup of mint tea.

Your future raids departing from Marrakech:
