Morocco: A Motorcycle Paradise
Trip Description
The High & Middle Atlas Odyssey
Get to the core of Morocco’s most legendary terrain. This one-week expedition is a masterclass in diversity, taking you through the emerald forests of the Middle Atlas to the soaring, jagged spines of the High Atlas.
We kick-start the engine in Marrakech and immediately aim for the high ground. You will navigate the cool, shaded sweeps of cedar and monkey forests, a rare alpine sanctuary in the heart of Africa. From there, the landscape opens into vast, high plateaus before we dive into the lush Ziz Palm Valley—the gateway to the Sahara.
The rhythm shifts as we hit the golden dunes of Merzouga. Here, we trade two wheels for four legs, taking a sunset camel trek into the silence of the deep desert. But the call of the road returns as we charge across the high nomadic steps toward the Todgha Canyon, where limestone walls tower over your handlebars. You will carve through the world-famous Dades Valley, a paradise of switchbacks and geological wonders.
The grand finale? The legendary Tizi n’Tichka pass. This is pure motorcycling nirvana: miles of technical, twisty tarmac draped over the old caravan routes that once linked the North to the Sub-Sahara.
We wrap the journey back in the sensory explosion of Marrakech’s Old Medina. Lose yourself in the colors and scents of the ancient markets, the perfect place to decompress before the flight home.
