Embark on a full-throttle Sahara experience combining the best of rocky trails, high-altitude plateaus, and towering sand dunes. This 7-day off-road tour is perfect for experienced riders who want a more equal mix of terrain: from Morocco's winding mountain tracks to the 205-meter dunes of Erg Chebbi. Ride through dried lake beds, sandy riverbeds, and the spectacular lunar landscapes of Jebel Saghro. Each day blends adrenaline with authenticity, with nights spent in traditional kasbahs, auberges, and an unforgettable desert bivouac. Riders can choose between KTM 450 EXC enduro bikes or join in the action with a Can-Am buggy.
Touch down in Morocco and meet your Moto Adventures team. If arriving in Ouarzazate, enjoy a quick transfer to your 4-star hotel. For those flying into Marrakech, a scenic 4-hour drive over the Tizi n Tichka mountain pass awaits. Unwind at the hotel, get briefed on the adventure ahead, and complete paperwork. Dinner is served buffet-style.
Kick off the ride across a fast plateau used by the military, transitioning into sandy riverbeds and rocky trails through stunning desert landscapes. Enjoy a picnic lunch by a stream. Conclude the day in a beautifully restored kasbah tucked away in Dades Gorge. Distance: ~180 km
Ride south across high-speed flatlands into the breathtaking Jbel Saghro mountains. After refueling and lunch in Mcissi, push forward through challenging desert terrain and sandy river crossings until you reach the iconic red dunes of Erg Chebbi. Relax at the local auberge and prepare for tomorrow’s sand adventure. Distance: ~250 km
Conquer the cathedral dunes of Erg Chebbi in the morning. Return for a short break before heading off across acacia-filled plains and sandy riverbeds to reach the desert bivouac. Enjoy a traditional dinner, music around the campfire, and star-filled skies. Distance: ~100 km
Start with a quick dune session, then tackle the notorious 'fesh fesh' powder trails en route to Remlia. After a rustic fuel stop and lunch in M’harech, rip through twisting tracks across flat desert terrain and scattered rocky hills. Arrive at a renovated kasbah hotel in N’kob. Distance: ~220 km
Begin with a rutted riverbed, followed by epic mountain riding over the Jbel Saghro range. Soak in Monument Valley-like views before stopping for lunch in Skoura. Finish the ride through sandy riverbeds and foothills, ending back in Ouarzazate. Bikes are checked in. Distance: ~205 km
Transfer to the airport or onward destination after breakfast. Time to say goodbye to the Sahara, but the memories—and adrenaline—stay with you.
