From Sahara Sands to Atlas Peaks — one trail, every terrain, riding freedom. This tour is for you if you want to experience the diversity and the best of the Trans Morocco Trail, where we ride the vast silence of the Sahara’s desert plains, the flowing gravel pistes that carve through Morocco’s wild interior, and the dramatic High Atlas passes, where the air thins and the views stretch for miles. With your luggage safely transported in a dedicated support vehicle, you get to experience every shift in landscape with total freedom—light, unburdened, and fully focused on the sheer variety and thrill of the ride.

Tour Highlights

Riding the best of the Trans Morocco Trail is an immersion into one of the most varied and dramatic landscapes a rider can experience. The journey sweeps you from the vast openness of the Sahara’s desert plains to the fast‑flowing gravel pistes that cut across Morocco’s wild interior, before climbing into the twisting, high‑altitude passes of the Atlas Mountains. Every day brings a new rhythm—sand, rock, gravel, altitude—and the sense that the terrain itself is guiding you deeper into the country’s raw beauty. What makes this adventure even more rewarding is how effortless we make it for you. All logistics are handled by our team from start to finish, allowing you to focus entirely on the ride. Accommodation, daily planning, and route management are all taken care of. Your luggage travels safely in our dedicated support vehicle, so you’re free to ride light and enjoy the changing terrain without the weight of gear slowing you down. Whether you want to bring your own bike (transportation from the UK available) and experience Morocco on a machine you already know and trust, or prefer the convenience of a hire bike, the choice is yours. Both options are supported equally. The result is a journey that blends challenge with comfort, riding freedom with support, and rugged adventure with seamless organisation. You get to experience Morocco at its most authentic—its deserts, pistes, and mountain passes—while we take care of everything else.

Full Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in FesWe welcome you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. Relax at the pool​/​hotel and enjoy the bar, or explore the city and its medina. In the evening, we will have drinks and dinner together at the hotel, provide a ride briefing and answer any last minute questions you may have on riding in Morocco. Day 2: Missour - ±220kmThe road to Missour is fully sealed to ease you into Morocco, that is also a remote, and beautifully varied ride that starts in green foothills, climbs through cool, twisting Middle Atlas roads, before traversing long, exposed high‑plateau straights with great views of the surrounding mountains and landscape. Day 3: Boudnib - ±325km.Our biggest day today, we need to have breakfast and head off early. We follow the sealed N19, N4 & R606 south for around 80km before turning off to go cross country, expect fast light sand​/​dirt tracks, there will be a few creeks to navigate early on, and one tricky descent near Col Belkassem before hitting the sealed road to Boudnib. The majority of today will be spent riding off-road. If you decide on the off-road option today, once you leave the road south of Debdou, you are committed; there is no sealed option or easy get-out until reaching Anoual (±190km) or Bni Tadjite (±275km). Day 4: Merzouga - ±140km.Today is a shorter day; the route is predominantly pistes with a combination of rocky tracks, light sand and dirt. After you get to the sealed road north of Maadid, you have a choice of following the main road South to Merzouga or continuing on an off-road route. The off-road route will include some deeper sand before Maadid. After Maadid to Merzouga, there are several Wadi​/​Stream beds to cross before reaching the edge of the stunning Erg Chebbi and our 2-night stop in Merzouga. Manage your time and fatigue when making a decision on which route to take. Day 5: Free Day.It's not all riding, unless you want it to be. After 2 long days of riding, crossing open countryside, and navigating remote terrain, it's time to relax, chill out and take a free day. Maybe go for a camel ride over Erg Chebbi, chill out at the hotel, or hit the dunes in a buggy or on your bike. If you want to explore more, try our 140km or ±175km loops out to the Rhehris Floodplains and visit the site of Gara Medouar, a popular filming location for movies such as The Mummy (Hamunaptra) and Quantum of Solace. Day 6: Zagora ±245km.We take the sealed Rr702 South West along the sealed road to Ouzina where the tarmac ends, and we head West across a mixture of light sand, dirt and patches of deeper sand. Along the way, there are many wells and places to stop, including the lost city of Ba Habou. After Ramlia, the roads become a little indistinct before crossing the Salt Lake and reaching Sidi Ali. The road west of Sidi Ali is very obvious, although it remains a mixture of dirt and sand all the way to Oumjrane. After leaving Oumjrane it is ±26kn of dirt and sand to the sealed road that takes you to our overnight stop in Zagora. Day 7: Kalaat - ±175kmHeading North, it's a sealed road for a short distance before turning off-road, then expect fairly slow going until N=Kob with washed out, stony tracks and riverbeds. Bigger bikes should consider continuing NW along the sealed Rn9 road to Tafetchna, then head NE along the Rr108 to N'Kob. After N'Kob, it is 80km to Kalaat with around 90% of the route being gravel tracks; these are mining roads, so expect easy going with some possible truck traffic. Day 8: Qued al Abid ±225kmContinuing North, our route unfolds through rugged, high‑country that mixes broken tarmac, gravel pistes, and raw mountain tracks. Expect everything from tight, stony uplands to vast, empty valleys. Pace yourself, after Timit, and Ait M'hamed, there are sealed road options if you want to bypass the dirt. Day 9: Imilchil ±195kmToday is a high‑altitude route combining broken single‑lane tarmac, graded gravel, and unmaintained rocky tracks, with long stretches where there are no fuel stations, workshops, or shops. There is a steady elevation gain toward 2,000–2,300 m, and exposure to strong winds is possible, as are sudden temperature drops, and occasional mountain fog. Expect slow progress on rough surfaces. Day 10: Zaida ±145kmOnce we turn off the unclassified road at Tagoudit, we enter a section that we would classify as unverified. This exploration section follows the route of the newly created High Atlas Trail. There is also an alternative verified route available for the less adventurous rider.

Day 11: Fes ±235kmThe ride from Zaida to Fes is one of those Moroccan roads that quietly surprises riders — it starts out stark and high‑altitude as you cross a high-altitude plateau, then gradually pulls you into greener, more dramatic terrain as you descend toward the Middle Atlas and finally into the cultural heart of Fes. Generally, expect smooth, well‑paved tarmac for almost the entire route, with long, open straights leaving Zaida, ideal for settling into a rhythmAs you journey south into the Middle Atlas, the roads become increasingly twisty. It’s a comfortable, scenic ride to finish on rather than a technical challenge. Day 12: HomeToday, we drop you off at the airport for your journey home. If you have opted for motorcycle transport, your bike will be securely transported back to the UK and delivered to your home a few days after departing Fes.
