“Ride to the beautiful passes and dunes”
7 Days Treasures of the Atlas at the Gates of the Desert Guided Motorcycle Tour
Le Sphinx Hotel, Boulevard Moulay Youssef, Mohammédia, Morocco
The Real Desert of Morocco Motorcycle Tour
From the treasures of the Atlas to the Gates of the Desert. After having crossed the first of the mountainous chains of Morocco, the Middle Atlas with its secular sources and its magnificent century-old cedar grove, you will discover behind the magnificent passes of the High Atlas and its snows, the gorges and Oases which border the Ziz and the Tafilalt plain. From there the famous dune regions and the gateway to the Moroccan desert will open before our
wheels.
This trip will then take us to the gates of the great southern desert by going up through its western part and the road of the thousand Kasbahs, to engulf us in the gorges of Todra and Dades. The last part of this circuit will take us to the oldest vestige of our planet and of the dinosaurs of yesteryear, among the largest land mammal that has never lived on Earth, in the Mgoun Geopark. A new circuit, in the footsteps of the first explorers, mixing exploration, discovery, culture, and far from mass tourism.
