Tour Overview
Morocco is the gateway to Saharan Africa: an exotic land with a unique mix of Arabic, French and Berber cultures, and one of the safest countries on the continent. MotoRover has run eight tours here since 2019 with over 100 riders. The 2026 edition is a 9 day motorcycle adventure that starts and ends in Casablanca, the biggest city in Morocco, on BMW GS adventure motorcycles or a Husqvarna Norden 901.
The route mixes terrain and landscapes, covering the High Atlas and Middle Atlas mountains, the Sahara desert and the Atlantic coast. Ride through the Dades and Todra gorges, cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass, visit Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, spend a night glamping in the Sahara with an ATV ride on the dunes, and take a break day in the Imperial city of Marrakech to shop in the souqs, walk the fortified Medina and soak up Jemaa el Fna.
A MotoRover guide leads on a motorcycle, followed by a support van carrying tools, a mechanic, a MotoRover Indian tour manager and your luggage. Group size is limited to 12 riders, and the package includes airport pickup and drop, all breakfasts and dinners (veg/non-veg), and stays in boutique hotels, Riads and a luxury tent camp in the Sahara. All you have to do is arrive and ride.
