Do the timeless lands and ancient cities of Morocco appeal? MotoHire Spain is proud to offer this fabulous Moroccan Adventure Tour. This trip includes many of the unmissable sights that this beautiful and welcoming country has to offer. You will enjoy rolling green hills, the snow-peaked Atlas Mountains, The Rif Mountains and the mysterious red sand dunes of the Sahara Desert.
Day 1: Arrival Day
A friendly face from Motohire Spain will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. Depending on arrival time, you may have time to relax or do some sightseeing before our detailed briefing session. Then, the whole group will get together for dinner in a local restaurant where you’ll get to know your fellow biking companions. Note that Day 1 and Day 14 of the itinerary are your arrival and departure days.
Day 2 Malaga – Chefchaouen (Morocco)
A relaxed ride of about 1h45 to Algeciras (140 km) and 2h25 from Tangier Med or Ceuta to Chefchaouen (130 km) across the Straits of Gibraltar. Don’t be surprised by how similar this northern tip of Morocco is to the Spain you’ll have just left! Verdant, good roads, though quite possibly more animals wandering across them as we travel across the Rif mountain range to the blue-hued town of Chefchaouen, your first stop on the African continent.
Day 3 Chefchaouen – Fez
As said, Northern Morocco is surprisingly lush and green which often surprises new-comers. You’ll wind your way through hilly terrain to the Roman Ruins of Volubilis where we’ll have a break and consider the wonders of the Roman empire. Then to Fes, one of Morocco’s 4 historic capital cities (the others being Marrakesh, Meknes and Rabat).
Day 4 Fez – Merzouga
Big biking day today. We cross the Atlas mountains and you’ll notice the dramatic change between the northern coastal side and the distinctly desert-like features on the southern side of the range. High altitude desert, possible sightings of Berber nomads and Barbary macaques, and your first date palms and oases. Morocco’s largest chunk of the Sahara, the Erg Chebbi sand belt will be our destination today, in the desert town of Merzouga, close to the Algerian border and the most easterly point of our tour.
Day 5 Rest day in Merzouga
Today, feast your eyes on all things “desert”: take it easy with a gentle wander around on a camel, or take a local tour by 4×4, quad bike or dirt bike and visit the stunning desert that is the Sahara. Or simply relax with a good book – all options are good options!
Day 6 Merzouga – Zagora
Batteries charged, we head off into a Morocco unchanged for centuries. We head further into the south of the country through landscapes that verge from lunar to resembling the Bolivian altiplano. Our destination is Zagora, an oasis town which was a traditional crossroads for the travelling caravans that transported salt, slaves and silver, amongst other commodities.
Day 7 Zagora – Tinghir
A fabulous day in store as we ride up the Draa valley in yet more dramatic desert scenery, with the looming presence of the Jebel Kissane range on our right. Things then get even more interesting as we offer the chance to do a desert crossing on a well-worn dirt road, or follow the more leisurely asphalt road to our day’s destination in Tinghir, from where we’ll launch ourselves at the Todhra Gorge during the course of the next day.
Day 8 Tinghir – Aït Benhaddou.
Another day of surprises: the famous hairpin bends that you’ll recognize from a hundred photos in the Todhra and Dades gorges, kasbahs galore (we’ll be on part of the Route of the 1000 kasbahs) (where a kasbah, by the way, is a fortress) and as we pass by Ouarzazate, you’ll see evidence of the Atlas film sets, where such classics as Black Hawk Down, The Mummy, the first Star Wars and Ridley Scott’s epic Gladiator have been filmed. We’ll arrive in Aït Benhaddou, whose centre is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and site of much more film-making.
Day 9 Aït Benhaddou – Taroudant
Taroudant is in the fertile Souss valley, itself part of the Anti-Atlas mountains (essentially the foothills of the Atlas range). The town’s medina is surrounded by fine golden walls and while Taroudant is referred to as a mini-Marrakesh, it is a much more laid-back version, with a friendly bustling souk and a huge market place just outside the walls. We’ll make our way there via the very remote Jebel Siroua, a now extinct 3000+ m volcanic peak.
Day 10 Taroudant – Essaouira
We leave the hinterland behind us as we spend some time by the Atlantic shores of Western Morocco, heading west to Agadir and then north, along pretty rolling coastline until we reach the charming fishing village, age-old medina, souks, lovely cafés and windsurfer haven and all-round cool place that is Essaouira. A real treat, with sandy beaches awaiting the swimming aficionados and the souk close by for those who prefer to keep dry feet.
Day 11 Essaouira – Marrakech
An early start so we can get to Marrakesh asap and enjoy this wonderful city for the rest of the day. The old centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the key attractions is the Djemaa el Fna (the Square of the Beheaded), the world-famous medieval market and executioner’s square, where you’ll see storytellers, snake charmers and jugglers. You won’t be able to miss the call to prayer of the muezzin at sunset. Whether of a literary bent or not, you’ll find yourself plunged into the world of 1001 nights and Aladdin.
Day 12 Marrakesh – Rabat
Yes, Rabat is the capital of Morocco, despite being only its 7 th largest city, and the home of King Hassan. But firstly, the road out of Marrakech will weave through Morocco’s fertile agricultural lands for the first few hundred kilometres before we had back into the mountains for some more great sweepers and pine forests all the way to Rabat.
Day 13 Rabat – Malaga
Journey details: 290 km / 3h00 to Tangier Med, ferry crossing, then Algeciras to Malaga (140 km/1h45) Four-lane highway to Tangier for the ferry home. Depending on arrival time and weather in Spain, we can take a scenic route, or go directly back to the hotel near Malaga.
Day 14 Departure day.
We hope you’ll go home with fabulous memories (and a few souvenirs) and
look forward to seeing you again. Hasta la vista!
A tour of Morocco is unlike any tour you may have done before: from the overwhelming friendliness of the locals, to that feeling of excitement when you get your first glimpse of Saharan sand dunes, and the clamour and spicy aromas of the souk in Marrakesh, this tour will leave you with outstanding memories of this stunning country

High altitude desert, possible sightings of Berber nomads and Barbary macaques, and your first date palms and oases. By now, you and your bike will be as one, and Africa will have begun to seep into your soul.
You’ll notice by now that the air is quite a bit drier and tongues of sand creep onto the roads. Morocco’s largest chunk of the Sahara, the Erg Chebbi sand belt will be one of the key sights today, as well as plentiful palm groves. We make our way to Merzouga, a small desert town, close to the Algerian border, the most easterly point of our tour.

Batteries charged, we head off into a Morocco unchanged for centuries. We climb to well over 6000 ft and get to see the life of the nomadic Berbers. One of the highlights is the Todra Gorge, with its dramatic cliffs rising straight up from the roadside. Unmissable.
Another day of surprises: the 4 famous hairpin bends that you’ll recognize from a hundred photos in the Dades gorge, kasbahs galore (we’ll be on part of the Route of the 1000 kasbahs) (where a kasbah, by the way, is a fortress) and as we pass by Ouarzazate, you’ll see evidence of the Atlas film sets, where such classics as Black Hawk Down, The Mummy, the first Star Wars in 1977 and Ridley Scott's epic Gladiator have been filmed. We’ll arrive in Aït Benhaddou, whose centre is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The best thing about Taroudant is its location in the fertile Souss valley at the foothills of the Anti Atlas mountains (essentially the beginnings of the main Atlas range), which teams with Berber culture including ancient granaries, ages old Koranic schools and lush green agricultural terraces.
We leave the hinterland behind us as we spend some time by the Atlantic shores of Western Morocco, heading east to Agadir and then north to Essaouira, where you get charming fishing village, age-old medina, souks, lovely cafés and windsurfers all rolled into one. A real treat, and nice off-shore breezes to accompany us along the way, with sandy beaches awaiting the swimming aficionados.
