It is our easiest tour in Morocco: 7 days with 5 days of riding, almost all on pavement, on a loop from Marrakech over the High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dadès Gorges and Imilchil. At the Gates of the Desert has the same format but heads for the Anti-Atlas and the Atlantic at Essaouira. The Argan Tree Route lasts 8 days from Agadir. For the Sahara dunes or more off-road riding, From the Atlas to the Sahara Dunes and the Berber Raid are for riders who have already ridden off-road.
The tour is rated Accessible: a motorcycle license and regular riding are enough, which makes it a good first motorcycle tour abroad. About 10% of the route is on easy dirt roads, the rest on winding mountain roads, up to a pass at 8,860 ft. Some stages are far from medical help: the support vehicle follows the group.
About 620 miles over 5 riding days, so 118 to 130 miles a day. Mountain roads are winding: expect a full day in the saddle, with photo stops and lunch on the way.
