Morocco Motorcycle Tour: Atlas & Spain Ferry Route

On this Morocco motorcycle tour you travel individually to the starting hotel in the Lörrach area, check-in until 6:00 pm. Over a shared dinner you get to know your fellow riders and the entire tour is presented.

As a guided Morocco motorcycle tour, the first stage heads south. Motorways take you almost to Chambery, then country roads through the Chartreuse National Park lead on to the overnight stop in Valence. A vignette is required for Switzerland.

The next stage begins with a short motorway ride. After that you ride through part of the Ardèche gorge and skirt the Cevennes National Park. Winding country roads bring you to your hotel in Narbonne.

Along the coast you cross the border into Spain today. A side trip to Cap de Creus, the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, is a must. Quiet country roads bring you to your overnight stop on the Costa Brava.

Today you set off early, heading the fastest way to the ferry port in Barcelona. Once the motorcycles are lashed down, you take one last look at Barcelona from the upper deck and enjoy your time on board.

This Spain-Morocco ferry motorcycle tour carries you past Gibraltar to the modern port of Tangier Med, arrival around 3:00 pm. After the entry formalities, the coastal road leads toward Tangier, where you get your first impression of Morocco.

On this Tangier-Meknes motorcycle tour you set off along the beach promenade for a side trip to Cape Spartel, the northwesternmost point of Africa. After mint tea in Asilah, the route runs through the hinterland past Moulay Idriss to Meknes, whose old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the way to the hotel above the Bin el Ouidane reservoir, this on-road Morocco motorcycle tour crosses the D'Ifrane National Park with its bizarre rock formations. Via Khenifra, a photo stop at Lake Al Hansali leads into the Middle Atlas.

The Cascades d'Ouzoud, one of today's highlights, are Morocco's largest and highest waterfalls. Well-paved country roads bring you closer to Marrakesh, and shortly before the hotel the route passes through the Agdal Gardens, a World Heritage Site since 1985.

This Morocco royal cities motorcycle tour takes a break today: your motorcycle stays in the hotel garage while a city tour of Marrakesh is on the program. The Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the Koutoubia Mosque and the Djemaa el-Fna reveal the diversity of the Red City.

Beyond Marrakesh, this Atlas Mountains motorcycle trip begins the real motorcycle adventure: you cross the Tizi n'Tichka, at 2260 meters Morocco's highest pass. A photo stop at the World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou leads on via the road of the kasbahs to Boumalne Dades.

Today could be called the two-gorges day. Before continuing to the next hotel, you make a side trip to the Dades Gorge, then this Dades Gorge motorcycle tour continues to the Todra Gorge with its rock walls up to 300 meters high.

In the morning you can optionally visit an oasis and a kasbah, and in the afternoon this Merzouga desert motorcycle tour delivers real desert feeling: a jeep takes you to the dunes of the Erg Chebbi, where you experience the sunset over the sand.

As far as Er Rich you follow the course of the Oued Ziz river past oases and ride through the legionnaires' tunnel. Via the Col du Zad, the route crosses the D'Ifrane National Park again, where with a bit of luck you can spot Barbary macaques in the cedar forest, continuing on to Fes.

A city tour of Fes is on the program today: the Blue Gate, the Royal Palace and a walk through the medina with its narrow, winding souk lanes show you the oldest of Morocco's royal cities.

The farewell to Morocco begins toward Lac du Sidi Chahed and Ouazzane with a short stop in Chefchaouen, the blue city. Along the western foothills of the Rif Mountains past Ceuta, you reach the port of Tangier for the return crossing.

Today's day on the ferry gives you the chance to let the fresh impressions of this Morocco motorcycle tour sink in, before you reach the ferry port in Sète the next day. Time to relax on board while you look ahead to the final stage back to Germany.

After leaving the ferry around 1:00 pm, this Morocco motorcycle tour takes you to the first overnight stop of the journey home in the Montelimar area. Depending on time, a loop through the Ardèche gorge is possible.

The final stage heads toward Chambery and Annecy into Switzerland. Passing Lake Geneva, you reach your starting hotel in the Lörrach area, and this eventful Morocco motorcycle tour draws to a close.

After breakfast together it's time to say goodbye. On your individual journey home, the impressions of this guided Morocco motorcycle tour through the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara and the royal cities stay with you.
