The Wonders of the Atlas Mountains

It is our easiest tour in Morocco: 7 days with 5 days of riding, almost all on tarmac, on a loop from Marrakech over the High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dadès Gorges and Imilchil. The Gateway to 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 Mountains to the Sahara Dunes and the Berber Raid are for riders who have already ridden off-road.

The tour is rated Accessible: a full motorcycle licence and regular riding are enough, which makes it a good first motorcycle tour abroad. About 10% of the route is on easy tracks, the rest on winding mountain roads, up to a pass at 2,700 metres. Some stages are far from medical help: the support vehicle follows the group.

About 620 miles (1,000 km) over 5 riding days, so 118 to 130 miles (190 to 210 km) a day. Mountain roads are winding: expect a full day in the saddle, with photo stops and lunch on the way.

A Royal Enfield Classic 350 or Himalayan 450, depending on the departure: the model is confirmed when you book. The Classic 350 has the lower seat. If your height makes you hesitate, either way, talk to your travel advisor before booking.
