Sahara and Beyond: Merzouga, Ramlia, Erg Chegaga & Dades Valley are the highlight of this 9-Day Morocco Motorbike Adventure
If you’re ready to trade four wheels for two and experience the thrill of Morocco’s desert landscapes up close, this 9-day guided motorbike tour from Errachidia is for you. From the sweeping dunes of Merzouga to the wild trails near Ramlia and the remote beauty of Erg Chegaga, this route offers a once-in-a-lifetime mix of adventure, culture, and raw landscapes.
✨ Why This 9-Day Morocco Motorbike Adventure Stands Out
Unlike typical road trips, this motorbike adventure allows you to truly feel Morocco beneath your wheels. You’ll go beyond the tourist path—navigating rocky plains, sand dunes, and forgotten villages—while enjoying the comfort of a fully supported and expertly guided tour.
Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast or simply want a more hands-on way to explore Morocco’s southern frontier, this trip delivers.
🌤️ Best Time to Ride
The best months for motorbiking in southern Morocco are March to May and September to November. During these times, the temperatures are ideal—warm enough for riding without being overwhelming, and cool enough at night for a restful sleep in desert camps.
📆 9-Day Itinerary: Southern Morocco by Motorbike
Day 1: Arrival in Errachidia – Transfer to Erfoud
Upon arrival at Errachidia Airport, you’ll meet your support crew and transfer to Erfoud. After a brief tour briefing, settle into your hotel and get a taste of the desert town’s energy.
🛏️ Overnight: Kasbah-style hotel in Erfoud
Day 2: Erfoud – Rissani – Merzouga Dunes
After breakfast, gear up and start your motorbike journey with a ride to Rissani, where you’ll explore the lively souk. Then continue toward Merzouga, skimming along sandy trails until you reach the edge of the towering Erg Chebbi dunes.
🛏️ Overnight: Luxury or standard desert camp
Day 3: Merzouga – Off-Road to Ramlia
Today, you’ll follow rugged pistes through black desert, dried riverbeds, and hidden oases. Stop to greet nomadic families and enjoy tea in the shade of acacia trees. Eventually, you’ll reach the remote village of Ramlia, far from modern distractions.
🛏️ Overnight: Guesthouse run by a local Berber family
Day 4: Ramlia – Tafraoute Sidi Ali – Zagora
Your route leads through wild desert terrain and small mountain passes. The ride is varied and scenic, offering views few tourists ever see. By afternoon, you’ll arrive in Zagora, a Saharan crossroads with a storied past.
🛏️ Overnight: Comfortable riad in Zagora
Day 5: Zagora – M’hamid – Erg Chegaga
Ride south to M’hamid, the final outpost before the desert swallows the road. Then, cut across wild Sahara tracks to Erg Chegaga, Morocco’s most untamed dunes. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, then relax by the fire with music and good company.
🛏️ Overnight: Remote Chegaga desert camp
Day 6: Erg Chegaga – Lake Iriki – Foum Zguid – Ouarzazate
After a sunrise breakfast, ride across the dry lakebed of Iriki, navigating rocky flats and dusty trails. Pass through Foum Zguid, then continue toward Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco.”
🛏️ Overnight: Traditional riad or hotel
Day 7: Ouarzazate – Skoura – Dades Valley
Today’s ride follows the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Stop to explore Skoura’s palm groves and the photogenic Amridil Kasbah, then head into the Dades Valley, known for its dramatic gorges and winding roads—a biker’s dream.
🛏️ Overnight: Guesthouse with panoramic views
Day 8: Dades – Todra Gorges – Return to Errachidia
Cruise through the Todra Gorges, where the red cliffs rise sharply on either side of the canyon road. Then, loop back through Berber villages and scenic passes, arriving in Errachidia by evening.
