Votre voyage moto au Maroc 7 étapes - 970 km

1/7 • Marrakech Airport
You’re greeted at the airport and transferred to your hotel. You can make the most of this first day to explore Marrakech. Discover its stunning architectural heritage, stroll around the famous souks in the medina and sample local delicacies. Overnight stay at a hotel.
2/7 • Marrakech - Taroudant
We get an early start to make the most of the cool morning temperatures and head south. We devour the longest leg of the tour during which we cross the Atlas Mountains and reach Taroudant in the sun-drenched Sous plains. the mid-afternoon, we arrive at the Sous plains, which we skirt until we reach the ramparts surrounding historic Taroudant. Overnight stay at a hotel.
3/7 • Taroudant - Tafraoute
We leave “Little Marrakech” behind us to continue southbound in search of the heat of the Sahara Desert. After some miles on a road as straight as the Route 66, the spectacular, majestic Lesser Atlas Mountains appear before us. One bend after another, the road takes us deeper into this 300 million-year-old mountain range.
4/7 • Tafraoute - Imouzzer
We get back on the road towards the north west, heading for the Atlantic Ocean. But before we get there, we find ourselves at higher altitudes once again, crossing the Indiana Jones-style peaks that protect Tafraoute from the outside world. Palm groves and fortified villages pepper the road that lead us to the cooler plains. We arrive in Imouzzer.
5/7 • Imouzzer - Essaouira
We can expect a complete change of scenery on the second part of the tour. Enjoying the sea breeze, we set off onto the twists and turns of the Atlas canyons, lined with palm trees and alongside rivers. We stop for a tea and to take in the spectacular views of these fascinating rock formations and then make our way towards the ancient fortified Portuguese town Essaouira.
6/7 • Essaouira - Marrakech
We leave the seaside behind us and our trusty Classic Royal Enfields take us back to Marrakech. The scenery changes as we clock up the miles and our memories of the last few days start to merge with the simple joy of riding and feeling free. We take a break to share our experiences, but it’s really just an excuse to put off ending the trip for as long as possible.
7/7 • Marrakech - International Airport
Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some time to enjoy Marrakech’s charms for a few more hours. You’re transferred to the international airport.
