Morocco Motorcycle Tour - Marrakech Express
Wild camels wandering beside the road, a waterfall taller than anything else in North Africa, and two mountain passes over 6,800 feet within a single week – sixteen nights from an English port to Marrakech and back.
Tell us your trip details and we'll put together a complimentary Stradora Expedition Pack for the journey.
16 nights through Morocco
The quick version of the Morocco run, seventeen days rather than nineteen, designed to fit inside two weeks off work. It drops the Sahara crossing and the desert camp in favour of a more direct loop, and keeps almost everything else.
The route out is the same as the longer trips: an overnight ferry from Portsmouth, then Spain by way of the Picos, Seville’s Plaza de Espana and Ronda’s bridge, then the crossing to Chefchaouen and a ride through the Rif Mountains to Fes and a guided tour of the medina and the tanneries.
Morocco then goes a different way. Beni Mellal leads to the Cascades d’Ouzoud, the highest waterfall in North Africa, then a short ride into Marrakech with a guided market tour and dinner on the Jemaa el-Fnaa. A rest day there offers an optional run over the Tizi-n-Test pass at 6,867 feet. After that the Tizi-n-Tichka at 7,415 feet, Ait Benhaddou and the Ouarzazate studios lead to the Dades Gorge, then the Todra Gorge and Rissani, with wild camels sometimes beside the road, then Ifrane National Park and its Barbary macaques to Meknes.
