Arrive in Errachidia, where your guide will greet you and walk you through the tour. Once you’re set up with your motorcycle and safety gear, you’ll enjoy a gentle warm-up ride through the stunning Ziz Valley.
This first ride is all about easing into the rhythm of the road — winding along palm groves, Berber villages, and ancient kasbahs. You’ll return to your local guesthouse in Errachidia for a traditional dinner and a briefing on the next day’s route.
A relaxed and scenic start to your 5 days motorcycle desert adventure, perfect for getting to know your bike and team.
🐫 Day 2: Errachidia → Erfoud → Merzouga (180 km)
After breakfast, gear up and head south through the Ziz Valley once again — but this time, you’re on your way to the desert. Ride past ksour (ancient mud-brick villages), fossil shops, and open desert views until you reach Erfoud, known for its fossils and dates.
Continue riding toward Merzouga, your gateway to the dunes. By late afternoon, you’ll witness the sun dip behind the legendary Erg Chebbi dunes. Trust us — few moments compare to the feeling of watching the Sahara light up in gold. Overnight in a cozy desert riad.
This day sets the scene for the real core of your 5 days motorcycle desert adventure — a shift from civilization to wild desert spirit.
🎶 Day 3: Merzouga Loop – Desert Tracks & Cultural Encounters (80 km)
It’s time to go off-road. Today’s loop around the dunes will take you through black desert landscapes, ancient fossil beds, and deep desert trails. Start the day with a visit to Khamlia, a village known for its soulful Gnawa music.
You’ll ride out to the M’fis mines and visit nomadic families living in traditional tents, far from roads and towns. After a full day on sand and trails, switch the bike for a camel and ride into the dunes for sunset. Your night in a luxury desert camp includes a traditional dinner, live music, and an unforgettable starlit sky.
This is the beating heart of the 5 days motorcycle desert adventure — the ride, the rhythm, the people, and the Sahara’s silence.
🏞️ Day 4: Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge (210 km)
Wake up in the desert and start your ride toward Rissani, once the powerful capital of the Tafilalt region. Its ancient souks and desert vibe offer a glimpse into Morocco’s trading past.
Continue north toward the Todra Gorge, riding through plateaus and winding mountain roads. When you reach the gorge, you’ll be surrounded by 300-meter-high canyon walls — a paradise for photographers and nature lovers. Overnight in a traditional kasbah hotel near the gorge.
From desert dunes to stone canyons, the terrain of your 5 days motorcycle desert adventure keeps changing, always surprising you.
