Sahara, Atlas & royal cities on two wheels

To give you a quick picture: 13 days, starting and ending in Marrakech. Around 2,300 km lead over asphalt, gravel roads and light offroad sections - varied kilometres between desert and mountains.

The route combines the ranges of the High and Middle Atlas with wide plains, the sand dunes of the Sahara, oases and kasbahs. Culturally, the royal cities, traditional crafts and Berber culture await you - also with your own motorcycle. Nights alternate between hotels, riads and kasbahs, giving every stage of this journey its own rhythm and comfort.

Highlights

Sahara & Erg Chebbi

On this motorcycle tour Morocco Sahara you reach the dunes of Erg Chebbi. If you like, ride a camel over the sand in the early morning and spend a night under a clear starry sky by the campfire.

High & Middle Atlas

Winding roads and wide views over the highest mountain ranges of North Africa: the Atlas is the riding heart of this tour, with passes over 2,000 m and long, winding switchbacks to the horizon.

Royal cities & culture

Fès, Marrakech and Meknes shape this motorcycle tour Morocco. Centuries-old medinas, souks and kasbahs tell of traditional life and craft, from dyers to tanners, each city carrying its own layered history.

On the trail of 007

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The 007 Spectre Tour is designed as a beginner tour. Some riding experience helps but is not a requirement - the stages run on-road with light offroad sections.

You sleep in typical local hotels, riads and kasbahs - in double rooms and with an authentic Moroccan atmosphere.

Spring and autumn are ideal: pleasant temperatures, clear visibility and good conditions for a motorcycle tour Morocco through Atlas and Sahara.

We have been running regular tours in Morocco for many years. If you follow the usual basic rules for travellers, you are well looked after in cities, on roads and in the terrain.

Yes, a German driving licence is recognised in Morocco.

The climate is varied: fresh to cool mornings and evenings in the Atlas, noticeably warmer during the day in the Sahara. In spring and autumn, temperatures are usually around 20-30 °C.

Yes, motorcyclists must wear a helmet - also on our guided tours.

“MT” stands for the Yamaha Ténéré, “007” for the model and “Spectre” for the James Bond film - parts of which were shot in Marrakech and the Sahara.

Yes. We transport your motorcycle to Málaga and Marrakech - so you ride the tour comfortably on your own bike.

EU citizens do not need a visa but do need a passport valid for at least 8 more months. Entry with an ID card is not possible.

Largely the same rules apply as in Europe. Ride defensively and keep enough distance - indicators are rarely used and taxis often stop unexpectedly.

No. The support vehicle carries everything necessary.

No, you can store part of it in the support vehicle. Just don't pack too much, as space in the car is limited.

Usually we have enough tie-down straps for the rental bikes. Bringing your own doesn't hurt but isn't necessary. You don't need to bring tools either.

In practice hardly: for private individuals, importing and legally flying a drone in Morocco is barely possible. Commercial use requires permits and significant bureaucratic effort.

The desert areas usually stay dry; some coastal regions get a bit more rain, but usually only briefly. Whether you pack rain gear is up to you.
