Our Mini Mountain & Sahara Desert Tour in Morocco is one of our most popular enduro excursions. Its compact itinerary allows thrill-seekers with limited time the chance to try some of the amazing variations of off-road biking that Morocco offers. Crossing the mountains and riding fast tracks through the Sahara is a totally unique sensation. And with a GPS setup on each bike, riders can travel at their own pace “alone” in the desert. Bear in mind that our CanAm Sport and X3 buggies can also join these tours, making them suitable for all levels.
The fastest lead the way ahead of other riders happy to take things a little slower. Behind them is our equipped support vehicle carrying our mechanic, sweeping the rear and following everywhere except into the dunes.
As with all our Morocco tours, accommodation on this adventure is the best available; highlights being a 200-year-old converted kasbah and a desert bivouac. Here, after dinner, you can lie around a campfire under a canopy of stars while local drummers play traditional music.
