Discover this itinerary
Designed for riders who enjoy variety, this circular route combines winding mountain roads, peaceful valleys and carefully selected off-road tracks. The experience is adventurous without being a race, allowing time to appreciate the landscapes, villages and culture encountered along the way.
After crossing the High Atlas, the journey reaches Skoura, where palm groves, traditional villages and earth-built kasbahs mark the entrance to southern Morocco. The route then follows the Draa Valley through Agdz to Zagora, where you spend the night in a traditional desert bivouac away from the city lights.
The most adventurous stage crosses the remote landscapes around Lake Iriki before reaching Foum Zguid. Changing surfaces and wide-open desert tracks make this one of the tour’s most memorable riding days.
The final stage returns to Marrakech through Tazenakht and Ouarzazate, completing a varied motorcycle loop through the mountains, valleys and desert regions of Morocco.
Choose a guided departure for professional local route knowledge and assistance, or request the self-guided format if you prefer to ride independently. The itinerary may be adjusted when weather or track conditions require it.
