6-Day Morocco Itinerary with 4 Riding Days
The Mini Mountain and Sahara Desert Tour in Morocco is our shortest experience. But don’t be mistaken — this itinerary packs a huge punch in a short space of time. It’s a six-day trip, including four days of riding starting from Ouarzazate. From there, you’ll head through the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and out into the Sahara, with overnight stops in places like N’Kob and Ouzina. We pass through villages and palm groves and tackle the twisting, rocky tracks over the beautiful Jebel Saghro mountains.
With riding across dry riverbeds, through the notorious “fesh-fesh”, and up towering dunes, this compact itinerary is a brilliant introduction to Morocco off-road tours. Each rider has GPS navigation, and the pace is yours to set. And for peace of mind, our support vehicle is always sweeping up behind the pack. Nights are part of the adventure too, with highlights including sleeping in a 200-year-old kasbah and camping under the desert sky in a bivouac with a campfire crackling nearby.
If you’re short on time but still want the full Morocco desert experience, this is the tour to choose. We can arrange return transfers to and from Marrakech if you’re flying in and out of the airport there. If you have some wiggle room, you can even tag on an extra day or two to explore the Red City before or after your time with us.

8-Day Morocco Itinerary with 6 Riding Days
With eight days in total and six full days of riding, our Buggy & Bike Safari Tour in Morocco takes you deeper into this incredible country’s wild side. Starting and finishing in Ouarzazate, the true highlight of this trip is the three nights of wild camping in unique locations away from civilisation. Picture yourself eating delicious local meals in a dining tent, relaxing after a day of riding by a campfire, watching the sunset behind the dunes, stargazing under the vast desert sky, and bedding down in a cosy tent.
Are you worried you’ll start to miss home comforts? Don’t worry, our camps come fully equipped with sit-down toilet facilities and hot showers. And we’ve also built in additional nights before and after the desert riding, which include overnight stays in a four-star hotel in Ouarzazete.
The riding is as incredible as it is varied and is just one of the reasons why you must take a tour of Morocco’s Sahara Desert. You’ll tackle tracks once used in the Paris-Dakar Rally, the mighty Erg Chigaga dunes, the Jbel Saghro mountain range, the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, dry riverbeds, and more.
This is real desert adventure travel, but with comfort built in. You decide whether to ride a motorbike or buggy, giving you flexibility in how you take on the terrain. Again, transfers from Marrakech are available, making this off-the-beaten-track experience highly accessible for European travellers. It’s a great middle-length option if you want more than a taster but don’t have time for the full Sahara epic.
9-Day Morocco Itinerary with 8 Riding Days
For riders who want the ultimate journey, our Sahara Experience in Morocco is the top choice. It’s so popular with riders that it’s become our signature tour. Over nine days, including eight days of riding, you’ll cover 1,250 to 1,500 kilometres almost entirely off-road.
We pass through traditional settlements and nomadic villages where the original Berbers still live, take in part of the legendary Paris–Dakar trail, and cross High Atlas passes at 2,400 metres. You’ll even have the chance to conquer the magical dunes at Erg Chebbi, the tallest in Morocco. Be sure to read our Guide to Visiting Morocco’s Erg Chebbi Sand Dunes to find out more about this adrenaline-pumping experience.
Every day is completely different, and you will have the privilege of getting to know the desert in all its forms. Whether you ride a bike, buggy, or 4WD, this is a Sahara Desert tour itinerary that immerses you in the culture and landscapes of Morocco like no other. It’s tough, it’s rewarding, and it’s the adventure of a lifetime.
Choosing the Right Morocco Itinerary
Each of these Morocco desert tours has its own personality. The six-day trip is compact but still captures the best of the mountains and desert. The eight-day Buggy & Bike Safari balances comfort and adventure with its nights of wild camping. The nine-day Sahara Experience is a deep dive into the desert, immersing in more awe-inspiring landscapes and unforgettable cultural highlights than any of our other tours.
No matter which you choose, every ride comes with support vehicles, GPS guidance, and expert local knowledge. All you need to do is focus on the trail ahead. And remember, these are just three examples from our full range. Browse all of our motorcycle and buggy tours in Morocco to see if there’s another experience that makes a better fit for you.
Why These Morocco Desert Tours Work for European Riders

The riding season runs from September to May, when the climate is at its best for long days outdoors. You don’t have to worry about planning routes or logistics, that’s what we do best!
